cmon...are you going to make me go out and research the “Caterpillar model of the early 1990’s” or will you go easy on me and give me the general answer?

very long story but here's the short version..

CAT replaced the striking workers with management and temp workers off the street and made record profits...after almost 2 years the Union called off the strike and signed the exact same contract they walked off their jobs for. (The contract was almost exactly the Contracy GM/UAW signed last month)

In the past 10 years CAT has outsourced alot of production at the UAW plants to local mom and pop shops and has built plants in the South moving 1000's of jobs out of Peoria in the process(Thanks UAW)
