Caterpillar is a American group of construction machines for building sites, they say. But Caterpillar is earning much money with the destruction of buildings and even lifes,...for example in Palestina where the Palestinian people already many years suffer under the destructive power of Caterpillar machines who took also the life of the american peace activist Rachel Corrie.
It are most Caterpillar machines who are destroying the Rom (gipsy) quarter of Istanbul, Sulukule...the "work" is almost terminated..

The actual economic crisis is a reason for the Caterpillar managers to dismiss hundreds of workers and close down factories.
Now it are the workers who used to construct the Caterpillar machines, that are very angry: four managers of Caterpillar France remained retained one night in the Grenoble seat of the company. The workers used their "prisoners" to have a stronger position struggling against the destruction of their jobs in the spring of 2009.
In front of the elected delegates of the workers, the direction of Caterpillar did not hide that half of the jobs considered redundancies=dismissals are giustified as that in no way by the fall of volumes of production for 2009, but by the requirement to improve the profitability of the group and to guarantee dividends with the shareholders. The trade-unions asked the government to intervene to prevent that the dividends are versed thanks to the destruction of employment.

And so we see scenes near the Caterpillar factories who will be very familiare to the Palestinian people and the Rom of Sulukule...
