I believe the subject has become irrelevant in todays world economy. All autos are made from parts from numerous countries. Most large auto manufacturers have plants all over the world. Americans (or their mutual funds) own stock in foreign auto manufacturers and share in their profits. American unions caused the opening of the domestic auto market by pricing their labor, and subsequently, the autos they made out of competition with foreign manufacturers. Unions, and their members, cannot change the facts by intimidation and shaming Americans. Make a better vehicle and a resaonable price and you will sell vehicles. Union scale wages drive up prices of everything in the areas so you need even higher wages to get by.
