Workers at Pratt & Whitney have voted to approve a new contract, bringing an end to a three-week strike. The deal, backed by 74% of union members, guarantees engine production will remain at the company's Connecticut facilities through 2029. It also includes a 15.5% wage increase over four years and increased pension contributions. Both the union and the company praised the agreement, framing it as a win for collective bargaining and workforce stability. The strike marked the first in over two decades at the company’s East Hartford and Middletown sites.
