Pratt & Whitney Union Members Approve New Contract, Strike Concludes
- On Tuesday, approximately 3,000 Pratt & Whitney machinists in Connecticut voted in favor of a four-year agreement, bringing an end to their three-week strike.
- The strike began on May 5 due to disputes over wages, job security, and benefits, marking the first walkout since 2001.
- The new contract includes wage increases of 6% in the first year and 3.5% in 2026, improved retirement benefits, and guarantees plant operations through 2029.
- Union president Wayne McCarthy said the deal provides "real gains for our members" and the company praised the contract for recognizing the workforce’s skill.
- With 74% voting in favor, members will return to work on Wednesday, and the agreement suggests renewed stability and continued employment at East Hartford and Middletown.
