Tense dialog with the management. 70 American, European and Japanese Caterpillar representatives met on April 28-29 under the aegis of the IMF in Echirolles, Izere, France. The aim of this meeting was to create an international union network to have more weight against Caterpillar’s management. Dialog with the building machine maker remains tough as 19,000 jobs were cuts worldwide over a year ago. “During our meetings, the representatives clearly mentioned Caterpillar’s anti-union policy” says Anne-Marie Mureau from the IMF. Organizing union members in networks should help them better defend the rights of the company’s workers (and subcontractors) across the world.
