Machinists strike at Caterpillar's Joliet plant

17.05.12

Caterpillar said its offer is competitive. "The company's last and best final offer was presented last Friday, and we believe it was a fair and reasonable and comprehensive proposal," said Rusty Dunn, a Caterpillar spokesman. Negotiations had gone on for more than a month, and no further talks are scheduled.

The prospect of stagnated wages has Caterpillar workers worried that they won't be able to cover escalating health care costs as well as keep up with food and housing costs.

"I'm at the cap. That's it,'' said John Andrews, 33, who moved from being a supplemental employee to a new hire at $19.73 an hour. He was among several dozen union members walking the picket line outside the plant Tuesday. Andrews, who lives in Joliet, said his biggest concern is "keeping a roof over my head."
