While I sympathize with the workers wanting more money, I'm not looking forward to new vehicles being more unattainable than they already are.

Businesses charge what people are willing to pay. Full stop. Not what products cost to produce.

This particular plant is making premium SUVs and pickups, by the sound of it, so already luxury vehicles. It's not like they're making economy cars.
