Caterpiller busts the union
Just like Trimet, workers are too scared to stand up for anything anymore, China wages and working conditions here we come! This at a time when Caterpillar is making record profits!
Caterpillar argued that wages for the higher-paid workers exceeded market levels.
The deal the workers ratified contained far-reaching concessions,
including the wage freeze, a pension freeze for the more senior
two-thirds of the workers and a steep increase in what the workers pay
toward their health care insurance. It also called for a $3,100
ratification bonus, which union officials said Caterpillar agreed on
Thursday to increase from $1,000.
BOY DO I REMEMBER WORKING IN THE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AT TRIMET
And I'm glad I NEVER HAVE TO FACE THIS ABUSE AGAIN!
This is a replay of one of my entire days at Trimet during the record heat wave, back when we had excellent managers. Back then we all went out of our way to make sure things rolled.
