The United Auto Workers on Sunday voted by an overwhelming margin to allow leadership to call a strike against Caterpillar Inc. if a new contract cannot be hammered out.
UAW members at seven locals – including Local 974 in East Peoria – voted by a 94 percent majority to authorize a strike if necessary. The union did not give vote totals.
The existing six-year contract expires March 1...That'll make a helluvamess out of Peoria.

Cat will want the same concessions Harley, Merc and Kohler got. Business is good for Cat, but they aren't stupid. I'm betting strike.
