IMF affiliates representing Caterpillar workers in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the USA and the United Kingdom are working together to achieve better wages, benefits, working conditions and job security.

Created in 2010, the network aims to regularly exchange information on collective bargaining and industrial relations in the various countries, work together to advance workers' rights at Caterpillar, its suppliers and sub-contractors throughout the world, and extend solidarity support to each other when needed.

The network is seeking to initiate and build up a constructive dialogue with management at Caterpillar, the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment.
