Joliet strikers at Cat HQ
PEORIA (MCT) -- Machinists on strike at Caterpillar Inc.'s Joliet plant brought their call for a better contract offer to company headquarters Monday.
Informational pickets were set up from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside Caterpillar offices at 100 NE Adams St. in Downtown Peoria by members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers holding signs calling for "a fair deal." Seven hundred and 80 union members went on strike May 1 after rejecting the company's proposal for a new six-year pact.
