I recall a story from Korea in the late 1980s relating to Hyundai. There was a lengthy & bitter strike by employees for higher pay. With Korea making a turn toward democracy the old option of calling in the police to beat the stikers into submission was gone, so the company granted a significant pay rise.
This is the sort of think that sends neo-liberal economists into apoplectic fits. Surely doom would follow. Actually, the company boomed. It turned out that many of the employees put their new-found largess toward the purchase of new cars - Hyundai cars.
