PEORIA (1470 & 100.3 WMBD) – The existing agreement in between Caterpillar Inc. and the United Auto Workers Union ends at midnight Wednesday.
Union members at Peoria location Caterpillar plants offered leaders the authority to call a strike versus the business at the end of January, in case a contract in between CAT and the UAW might not be reached.
Contract talks have actually not produced a contract yet, and Caterpillar has said it will continue running and serving clients throughout any possible strike.
“It makes good business sense to plan for any scenario – including a work stoppage or strike – that may impact operations and our customer commitments. This is a normal part of our process before any negotiation,” Caterpillar said in January.
