Cummins Confidential

Cummins Confidential is the independent Cummins news and investigations series from The Cummins Accountability Project (TCAP). We examine Cummins Inc. beyond the corporate press releases, glossy sustainability claims and carefully managed newsroom narratives.

From diesel emissions scandals, employee treatment, recalls and financial results to employment practices, executive conduct, Destination Zero and corporate accountability, Cummins Confidential compares the company’s public messaging with the documentary record.

Expect independent scrutiny, evidence-led investigations, sharp satire and the occasional magnificent corporate own goal. Every edition challenges the official narrative, distinguishes documented facts from editorial opinion and invites factual corrections.

Cummins has its newsroom. TCAP has a few questions.

And we are not particularly interested in the approved answers.

Apparently, rehabilitation runs in the fucking family.

Cummins Confidential : Natalie Morton – A Contrived, Staged Wages “Explanation” That Cummins Presented Mid-Trial To Keep Her Off Of The Stand

Natalie Morton led the Cummins grievance investigation, acknowledged that she had not verified disputed interview notes and later provided a four-page witness statement. After a prepared payroll explanation was presented at trial, TCAP withdrew a narrow wage claim and Morton never entered the witness box. The wages issue disappeared. The grievance questions fucking didn’t.
