Claims new bill will raise their health care cost 100 million first year. I'm sure they will be hiring soon.

Psssst....(whispering) This may come as a surprise to you but Caterpillar may not always tell the truth.

Caterpillar is the old man with the nice lawn of American industries. You can look but stay the hell off his property. Treat their employees like cattle and generally run roughshod over everything they can.

Cat will be just fine, I assure you.

and Oh, btw...Caterpillar is wanting to staff their entire engine plant in Mossville Illinois with "Supplemental Workers" They pay them greatly reduced wages and NO healthcare. These are short term temp workers building Cat's engines. Ask grmcooper what he thinks of Cat engines.

In case you are wondering I used to be in Cat engineering. I saw the writing on the wall and bailed. THE WORST PLACE TO WORK AT EVAH!!!!

CAT is expanding in China.

CAT bailed on truck engines. I used to bleed cat yellow but now its Cummings red. Cat can go to hell.
