Jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney announced Friday that it reached a tentative agreement with the union representing about 3,000 machinists in Connecticut who've been on strike since May 4 demanding improved job security and better wages, retirement benefits and health care coverage.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are scheduled to vote May 27 on the revised contract offer. The company said the tentative agreement, reached after the two sides resumed talks on Thursday, addresses “key points of interest among union members." It did not provide details.
