it really hurts to lose manufacturing jobs. we have lost many to the US and continue with the loss of CAT in Ontario to the US. Cat demanded a 50 percent wage cut from Canadian workers. They are taking the work state side. Worse, they are taking 80 years of technology as this London Ontario Locomotive factory was a world leader in trains. CAT made 50 million dollars last year...but still axed over 400 jobs here. They will take our technology, our jobs and all the customers we had, to Indiana ( a state that controls unions) When Cat purchased this plant 18 months ago, Our gov subsidized this place as Cat promised to stay. Cat made all their money from the Canadian tarsands and Noranda. They can take, but not give. I hope the Canadian government stops these rotten crooks from taking our technology and running! I used to have respect for CAT...now I see what they are really made of!
