SENATOR ANWAR ISSUES STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF PRATT & WHITNEY WORKERS STRIKE

Today, State Senator Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) issued the following statement in support of striking at Pratt & Whitney’s factories in Connecticut. About 3,000 workers are striking after contract negotiations between the company and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers broke down:

“East Hartford depends and relies on the workers and economic powers of Pratt & Whitney, and no business can succeed without its workers. I stand with the machinists who are seeking to ensure the financial security of their families and the longevity of their careers.”
