    Hopefully some of those salaries can be used to increase the CEO’s pay from $21 million a year. How is that guy surviving?

    "Most of the Caterpillar workers laid off were supplemental employees hired on a short-term basis, with the possible opportunity to be hired full-time."

    This says allot about the level of disgusting corporate greed that's killing the globe.

    I see these corporate scum as white collar criminals getting rich off the labor and suffering of the working class.

    Sounds like something that would come down from corporate to keep the line temporarily moving until winter shutdown. Happens every year.

    The sky is not falling! That's a reason to have supplemental or temps. so they can be used during the busy months and sent home during the slow months. They know that when they accept the job.
