WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, on Tuesday released the following statement on the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Local 700 ratification of the contract with Pratt & Whitney.
“This hard-fought contract shows the power of unions. I was proud to join Pratt & Whitney workers on the picket line fighting for higher wages, better retirement benefits, and job security, and their efforts paid off. The bargaining committee and Pratt & Whitney leadership should be proud of their work to strike a deal and support manufacturing families in our state.”
Murphy joined striking workers in Middletown earlier this month.
