Caterpillar Closes Canadian Plant to Take Advantage of Cheaper Workers–in the U.S. 

Caterpillar is moving to newly “Right-To-Work” Indiana, offering rock-bottom wages and searching for anti-union managers. Is the US the new source for cheap labor? Caterpillar announced Friday it would close its London, Ontario, locomotive plant after 465 workers there refused to grant concessions that would cut their wages in half.

Looks like the anti-union tide of the midwest is spreading into Canada.

Interestingly, under US Law, CAT could not do this if it were a plant in the States. I guess that’s one thing we have over our great northern neighbors.

Is it Shareworthy?
