    Workers at Heavy Equipment Giant Caterpillar Reject Company Contact Offer but Stay on the Job By Jan Dennis, AP
    PEORIA, Ill. Some 8,000 Caterpillar Inc. workers rejected a six-year contract that the heavy equipment giant has called its final offer, but employees remained on the job, company and union officials said.

    The United Auto Workers told employees to report to work Monday even though an extension of their current contract expired Sunday night.
