Caterpillar, which has its mining equipment division based in Oak Creek, shut factories and cut its worldwide workforce by 13,000 people last year, including about 400 jobs in Milwaukee and South Milwaukee.
Previously, the local plants employed more than 800 people.
The Peoria, Ill.-based company said it continues to take actions to reduce costs and better align its workforce with business needs.
“While some cost reduction measures have already been implemented, further measures must be taken in the near term. We know this is difficult for our employees and their families, but we must take steps to position the company for long-term success,” Caterpillar said.
