Clayton, N.C. — Caterpillar Inc. officials announced Wednesday that the company plans to cut 121 jobs at its Clayton facility in the next two months.

The company is in the midst of revamping its Building Construction Products Division, which includes the Clayton facility, spokesman Jim Dugan said.

Eventually the company hopes to increase the number of wheel-loader models produced at the Clayton plant. A major construction project inside the plant is also planned this year.

The company also hopes to shift some production now in England to the Clayton facility.

Some people just don't get it. This administration isn't sending the jobs overseas, it's the company. Send jobs overseas, profits increase, stocks go up. The winners are the corporate execs, and shareholders. The losers are the workers and the taxpayers who have to pay unemployment and MEDICAL care. Oh and by the way, we have to retrain these workers for the lower paying jobs in the service industry, the only industry that is showing promise of growth.
