    CAT Workers Come Together; Rally in Solidarity WHOI, IL
    Following a record quarter in sales and profits, more than a hundred caterpillar workers came together today to show their solidarity.

    And with the impressive gains, Caterpillar's UAW union workers want to make sure the company does not forget them.

    CAT workers at the Mapleton production plant are trying to show Big Yellow that the company's big numbers should be reflected in a new contract.

    With sales up 27 percent from this time last year and a profit of more than 550 million dollars, some union workers are especially upset the company wants to dip into pensions from its retired workforce.
