... acquiring all of its IP, then proceeds to shut down the plant, kick 450 workers out of their jobs, and open a plant in Brazil.

Makes sense, Brazil is a much more vibrant economy. And if you come up with a non NYT link I'll bother myself to read the story. The less clicks that propagandist war mongering rag gets, the better.

Go CAT. Stupid unions need to learn when to back down.

CAT had no intention of keeping the plant open. They only bought it for the patents.

Why not? How much were they making (including the benefit package) without the cut?
Edit: found it elsewhere. Wanted to drop workers to 16.50/hr.
That sounds perfectly reasonable for a job a monkey could probably do. Especially considering they are probably getting another $25/hr in benefits.
