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.

    I actually do buy used cars, and am currently looking at used Honda and subaru thingies.

    But the used car market affects the new car market, so I feel like the choice still matters even if I’m not buying new. I don’t think it’s “the actual ethical thing” (kind of condescending phrasing btw) to absolve self of the implications of the purchase just because it’s used.
