Governor visits striking Caterpillar workers

(MCT) — Gov. Pat Quinn visited striking Caterpillar workers in Joliet Friday to deliver a $10,000 check from his campaign fund and offer encouragement as the labor dispute enters its fourth month.

"When people are united they can't be defeated," he told a crowd of more than 100 people who gathered around a blue tent to hear him speak.
