Machinists Reach Tentative Contract with Caterpillar
Machinists (IAM) District 8 in Joliet, Ill., and Caterpillar Inc. reached a tentative contract agreement late Tuesday and members are now voting on whether to ratify it. Workers have been on strike against the heavy equipment maker since May 1.
The proposed six-year contract contains many improvements over previous offers, said District 8 Business Representative Steve Jones.
