To the worker/employees of Catlogistics/Caterpillar in Europe and worldwide
Dear workers and employees of Catlogistics in Europe (former warehouses of General Motors/Opel/Vauxhall) and of Caterpillar, Workers at the Rüsselsheim site reported seriously violation of workers right regarding the Catlogistics company in Rüsselsheim (near Opel).
We are calling for solidarity and ask you to post reports here in the blog. How is Catlogistics/Caterpillar working against unions and workers? Which methods do they use? Do they violate seriously workers rights in your plant/site? In Rüsselsheim you can see how the Cat management is spreading a culture of fear through the plant. This is clearly unacceptable. General Motors Europe signed a contract on "Principles of Social Responsibility" in 2002 with the European Works Council which covers also suppliers of GM. Therefore, this is not only a matter of Catlogistics or Caterpillar this has also to be an issue for GM.
