More people in Japan are benefitting off you than Americans. So, if you are all for "American" labor, sell that Acura, buy GM or Ford.

I'm not really interested in helping US robber barrons of this era. I won't buy a car that is not made by US workers, but I have no loyalty to US robber barron corporations, so don't really care where the profits go so long as the employees get decent treatment. I also try to stay in union hotels when I travel. Not always possible, but I try.
Union busting drives down wages for all of us eventually. I'm not sure why I should spend my dollars to drive a knife into my own back in the long run. We can agree to disagree, but I think you are being short-sighted.
