It was a good view into what exactly the car companies are doing, but essentially it was "we're getting underpaid" with extra steps.
The car companies have basically set up a monopsony with cartels, squeezed the mechanics out, and are now complaining that they squeezed them out too much.

I think part of this may be that some of the market is buying EVs now. The amount of car repair necessary per person is decreasing overtime.
