Boycott Caterpillar!

Its not just these business practices by Cat. In my response, it was also the holding of people (employees) hostage and demanding money from the government.

For example, Godfather, you work for defense contractor Boeing. yes? 400 people from your plant are being threatened with job loss, demanding from the state billions of dollars from the Gov to keep those jobs when they certainly are already profitable, just doing it for the leverage and flexing the corporate muscle. It is really not about the employees or jobs. Its about profits. How would you feel after spending your life time there? Mad at the government for not paying ransom or mad at Boeing because they gambled with your life investment as an employee?

Just because they can does it mean its ethical?

gotta luv CAT such an ethical company....


bend over

I may have been a little off on the exact facts.. but you have to see the point ,tribal wars have been going on for years in the middle east and and US contractors and mfgr's have worked for and supplied who ever was their friend at that given time and just about every money making business in the world is guilty of the same thing you are "botcotting" Cat for.,.you do see this right ?, not saying it's right but this is the way it is and the way it most likely always be but if you want a global economy and global trading this is the kind of shit you will always have to deal with so boycotting Cat is just a huge waste of time, the wheels of big business wont stop turning because your civil rights feelings got hurt..sorry man it is what it is.
