Caterpillar

Closing the Gosselies plant without any warning is a another typical, brutal American capitalist movement.

It shows no respect whatsoever for the employees and all the other people concerned. It is another proof that the multinationals (and let's not forget the banks) rule the world. They are blind to everything except dollars and profits.

"The Walloon PM ... said he was "shocked and scandalized" by the announcement, because "Caterpillar has always enjoyed massive support from the Walloon authorities, especially after the 2013 job cuts". He also highlighted the "major efforts" made by the employees to improve productivity over the past years."

But all is not lost !  Our government(s) promise a firm and adequate reaction. ... So what are they going to do ? Wet their pants instead of whetting their knives ?

Caterpillar betekent rups. Spijtig genoeg is dit er een die we niet kunnen verpletteren. Onze schoenen zijn niet groot genoeg !
