Whatever your connection to Caterpillar, whether you operate Cat® equipment, live near our facilities or wear our brand, you’re part of the Cat family — and this family sticks together. Communities rely on Cat equipment, and we must keep going. Someone has to ensure hospitals stay powered, grocery stores stay stocked and vital infrastructure stands ready for those whose lives and livelihoods depend on it. But not every operation’s work is “essential,” and not every worker feels comfortable reporting for duty. That’s led to concerns about safety, finances and the future. We share your worries, and we’re here to help you work through them. Together, we’ll find solutions and come out the other side of this pandemic stronger.
The situation presented by COVID-19 may be unprecedented, but one positive is that it opened the world’s eyes to the important work the trades do every day. And what the world once took for granted, they won’t anymore.
