Welcome to my world.
Cat shut down se...Oh, Canada! Welcome to my world.<br /><br />Cat shut down several plants over the years to take advantage of the "right to work" state, Mississippi (and various other places of extreme low wage).<br /><br />One of these facilities is a remanufacturing facility (they rebuild motors, etc) and is one of the most profitable in the entire company. I made alot of money from them via automation.<br /><br />But, they took it one step further. They cut wages down to near minimum wage, cut most employees' benefits, and enacted a "Temp" system, where they work less than 40 hours/week, so they avoid any "full-time" benefits.<br /><br />What was once a place that people strive to work for has now become a slave factory (down here, ANYTHING is better than what we normally have... NOTHING).<br /><br />Same thing happened with automotive. They took advantage of the lower wages, moved down south, then when they had the opportunity to move it off shore (even LOWER wages) they moved, leaving both the Yankees and Rebels wallowing in nothing.BuelahManhttps://buelahman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
