Most of the Toyota plants have their own contracts with their workers. You are correct though about the joint ventures with GM that then has some UAW presence.
Since I work for Toyota I hear nothing but great things about their plants. I mainly hear about the final assembly plants like Georgetown KY, Sanantonio TX, and Princeton IN.
I honestly forget how the Cambridge Ontario plant works. They build the Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix there as well as some Corollas.

Toyota and GM sold the same amount of cars world wide last year. GM
LOST billions, Toyota made money. Im not pointing the finger squarly
at the UAW, but something is wrong with this picture. I just dont see
how without some major changes how GM can survive.

The last time anybody had a reasonable chance to point the finger at the UAW was back in ~1982. . . after that, anybody with two brain cells should've seen it coming.
contract came up in one form or fashon or another. They bascily had to accept
or the UAW would strike, "we wont build your cars", and the cycle continued
to the point where we are today. Now, "The chickens are comin home to roost".

Jackson.
Edit....you do understand that it is a Nissan plant not Toyota
