The union representing about 2,500 submarine designers at Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut, has tentatively agreed to a new contract that includes significant wage increases of over 30% over five years, avoiding a potential strike. The Marine Draftsmen’s Association had previously threatened to strike if demands for better wages and benefits were not met. The agreement follows negotiations that emphasized the importance of the workers' role in building the U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine fleet. Union members are set to vote on the deal soon.
