Such pattern bargaining, as it's called, has been used by unions for three decades to ensure workers in related industries receive equal pay and benefits. It prevents companies from using wage concessions to gain a competitive advantage.

"Caterpillar is gambling that a large number of its workers will return to the job.

It's a very long shot," said Harley Shaiken, visiting professor at the Institute for Industrial Relations at the University of California-Berkeley. accused them of making fake California driver's licenses. Hathaway allegedly was carrying one of the licenses when arrested earlier this year on other charges. Both men were released from jail after posting 1 ,000 bail. Hathaway and Meyer were suspended from their jobs as resident assistants at Mae Smith residency hall in February after being charged with breaking into the AMC University Place 8 theater in Carbondale.

One of the men allegedly was carrying a loaded 9mm semiautomatic pistol. Later that month criminal damage to property and theft charges were filed against both men in Williamson County in the burglary of Propel Service Station near Carterville. Charges also were filed in Union County last month against Meyer and Phillip Holub, 20, another former Mae Smith resident assistant, accusing them of breaking into a Pepsi machine in Jonesboro.

workers, Seeber said, citing industry studies. But never before has a company of Caterpillar's size a $10 billion manufacturer attempted to replace thousands of union workers. "I can't think of a parallel case of a major industry taking on a union the size and the strength of the United Auto Workers," Seeber said. "We're talking about an industry with a history of strong unions sitting in the heart of manufacturing unionism. I don't see any way the UAW can give in." UAW President Owen Bieber has repeatedly said the fate of the labor movement hangs in the balance in Illinois, where the UAW is striking at Caterpillar production and assembly plants the core of the Peoria-based company's heavy machinery business.

Caterpillar officials reject any historical significance, saying they're just battling to stay competitive. to close at 1 a.m., but police allegedly saw customers at the Royal Motor Lounge at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday After showing identification and requesting entrance to the locked tavern, police were kept waiting at the front door while the bartender allegedly let five or six customers out the back door.

The company's ultimatum to strikers Wednesday return to work by 7:30 a.m. Monday or risk replacement is a high-stakes gamble that threatens the company and the U.S. labor movement, said Ronald Seeber, collective bargaining specialist at Cornell University. "This takes us into a new stage in the attack on trade unionism and collective bargaining in this country," Seeber said. "It comes down to whether there are enough skilled machinists sitting out there and desperate enough to move to Peoria and cross picket lines every day for a long time." About 10 percent of all strikes are resolved by hiring replacement Police Chester Police confiscated the liquor license of the Royal Motor Lounge in Chester early Wednesday morning after customers reportedly were observed drinking at the bar after closing hours.
