Is there a labour-friendly car company?

I'm shopping for a new car, and would like to choose one made with the least bad labour practices, if possible.

My reading suggests there is literally no good choice, but curious if anyone here has a perspective that could inform my choice.

Is there any car company that shits on their workers less and/or chooses contractors/vendors that shit on their workers less than the rest? Or are we just doomed to drive around the blood sweat and tears of exploited persons?

Shopping in America.

Edit: New to me. Used just as likely.

When you said "new" car do you really mean new or is buying used an option

Sorry that was a doofus move on my part.

Most likely used. New to me.

Then you're fine buying whatever. All suffering is absorbed by the first owner. Subsequent purchases are suffering free.

Used car market affects new car market - people will buy new cars based on their resale, which is influenced by demand.

So it's still important to me that I choose a used car that's the least harmful to workers as I can manage.
