We need Autoworker Unions to refuse this shit with us.

Why would they do that? This thing aligns with their interests (more money in the industry)

Remind me how subscription services translate to more manufacturing jobs.

Hell, half the point of the strike was that the corpos were keeping too much and not giving out raises

If every car has a seat warmer then you have to manufacture more seat warmers. Supposedly that implies in more work. But I'm sure the companies will find a way around it.

If every car has it you only need to make one kind of seat and you only need one assembly line to install that type of seat. That's less jobs overall.
