Blumenthal Statement on Machinists' Agreement with Pratt & Whitney

[Hartford, CT] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal released a statement today on the agreement reached by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and Pratt & Whitney.

“All Americans should be grateful that Pratt machinists— among our most skilled, dedicated defense workers— are returning to their jobs. Their products are vital to our national security, and they deserve fair pay, good pensions, and job security. I was proud to stand with them on picket lines in East Hartford and Middletown, and I admire their perseverance and courage, as well as their extraordinary skill and loyalty,” said Blumenthal.
