Dunno what it's like in the UK, but in the US, most Japanese cars are
made domestically, especially trucks & SUVs. They have a greater foreign
component percentage, but assembly is domestic. However, the tens of
thousands of UAW jobs that went away in the 80s as the Big 3 cut
overhead really just went away - the foreign-owned assembly plants in
the US were non-union, and remain that way. Fairly well paid, but
non-union.

It is easier to tame wild beasts
than to conquer the human mind.

Similar here - Toyota have a plant in Derby for example. I was offered a job
by them, but turned them down as they seemed rude ; didn't appreciate the
crude psychological tricks they played at the interview.
