Blumenthal Statement on Pratt & Whitney Machinists Strike

[Hartford, CT] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal released a statement today on the Pratt & Whitney International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) vote to strike starting Monday.

“I stand with Machinists in fighting for basic workplace fairness— decent, well-deserved pay, pensions and job security. Workers need long term certainty in jobs and income to make the American dream real. Our state’s prosperity and progress depends on proper, fair treatment of workers, especially at Pratt where their products are critical to our national defense,” Blumenthal said.
