Caterpillar HQ move sets off shock waves​

It’s the second Fortune 500 headquarters to leave Illinois in a little more than a month.​

 
It only affects 230 employees and they will still have an Office in Chicago as well as 17000 employees in Illinois.

There were 2 crippling UAW strikes against Caterpillar
Inc. in Peoria. Both lasted over 12 months, one in 1984-85,
and one in 1994-95.

The Board of Directors decided to move jobs to right to
work states and other nations. By 2009, there were
20,000 fewer union jobs in the Peoria area.

Hard to get talented executives to live in Peoria, I guess? Why anyone would voluntarily live in Illinois is a mystery.
