Approximately 3,000 union members at Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut went on strike as negotiations failed regarding wages, retirement benefits, and job security. This marks the first strike by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers since 2001, following a vote in which 77% approved the action. The company, a subsidiary of RTX Corp., claims its wage and retirement proposals are competitive and has stated it has contingency plans to maintain operations during the strike.
