The UAW announced that its tentative agreement with Caterpillar had passed, while not releasing either the overall ballot totals or the breakdown by local or plant.
Caterpillar workers are being met with an information brick wall when they inquire about the full details of the agreement at phony “informational meetings” held by the UAW.
After withholding information from workers on the most important things being said in the contract talks, union officials are now trying to stampede us into voting on an agreement, just as they did in 2017 and earlier.
With only hours remaining until the March 1 contract expiration between Caterpillar and the UAW, workers are being kept in the dark over what is really being discussed between management and UAW officials.
With the March 1 contract expiration for over 6,000 UAW members at Caterpillar fast approaching, workers are increasingly calling for a counter-offensive to win back major improvements in wages, benefits and working conditions.
