Just days before negotiations are set to begin with United Steel Workers Local 1343, Caterpillar has announced that it will lay off up to 300 at its South Milwaukee Plant. The company declined an interview, but in a statement attributed the cutbacks to trying to bring production in line with demand. Besides temporary layoffs, the company says it will also take other action that will differ from location to location and impact everyone from production and support to management.

accepted mountains of cash and who knows what else, to transfer ownership
from South Milwaukee, to Caterpillar.

and took credit for it. Just before I was told my assignment had ended, without
any other explanation or other word of advice or encouragement.
