The John King piece on CNN concerning the Illinois Caterpillar layoffs.
John King on CNN just had interviews on Peoria Cat worker on for interviews. My husband got his pink slip Fri. and was take out of the plant along with the rest of the union workers. We are not understanding the worker who was laid off last mo. and only has 10 wks. of unemployment left.These workers were not from the plant that got pink slips on Fri. East Peoria lay offs doesn't even start until April. They did not tell the real story of Moseville plant that was laid off Fri. Peoria Journal Star did not even know that Cat is opening a plant in Ark. Where the hell is the media's head at. Peoria is the headquarters for Cat. Please contact CNN for us and ask them to talk to the blue collar workers at Mossville for the real story this week on the layoffs. Oh by the way, the elected union officials at the union hall won't give us the senority list for the plant. They say they don't have to. We have no idea who is still working there that has less senority than us.
