This isn't about money ordsprog

This isn't about money because Sikorsky has plenty. The company has said it wants to cut our health care to teach us a financial lesson. That's not right and it won't fly.

Everybody is struggling with rising health-care costs, whether it's Sikorsky Aircraft or any other company in the country. We're simply not immune to that. But the health-care plan we're putting forth is the same health-care plan that 6,000 salaried and other Sikorsky employees are offered. It's a good health-care plan.

In general, UTC is doing reasonably well. The Sikorsky workers are well-paid, high-quality workers. But Sikorsky is saying we're doing well, but we're in this competitive environment. I think there's a legitimate concern about health care.

Why do the rich get even richer, while regular working Americans can't even hold onto their basic health care benefits. The head of United Technologies raked in $13.4 million in total compensation and cashed out $83.6 million in stock options and he wants to ax health care for the 3,600 teamsters on strike at Sikorsky.

Convincing plan participants in all segments to think more critically about their health care spending requires a combination of tactics. Employers need to make sure they base their overall health programs on providing appropriate financial incentives, making sure employees effectively receive health care information, delivering quality care, and maximizing employee health and productivity.

Like many Connecticut residents, they are worried about how they are going to meet rising health-care costs for their families. I urge management at Sikorsky to resume negotiations and do everything possible to reach an equitable settlement with the people who are the lifeblood of this company. This isn't about bashing anyone — it's about trying to find reasonable ways to address what I think are understandable concerns.

Why do the rich get even richer, while regular working Americans can't even hold onto their basic health care benefits? The head of United Technologies raked in $13.4 million in total compensation and cashed out $83.6 million in stock options -- and he wants to ax health care for the 3,600 Teamsters on strike at Sikorsky. The race to the bottom for the middle class must stop now.

The arrogance of Sikorsky has been astounding. As one of our country's major defense contractors, Sikorsky throughout this ordeal showed its disdain for workers, our elected officials and ultimately, the American taxpayers. This company is the poster child for bad behavior and corporate greed. We will continue our fight against this company and against the growing, unchecked power of all of big business in America.

Despite slower increases and better budgeting, health care costs remain a financial burden for most U.S. employers. Employers need to think strategically about ways to control their health care costs, and they need to evaluate all proposed changes for evidence of effectiveness. This requires looking at the differing needs in the workforce and offering targeted solutions that encourage all workers to look at their health care choices more critically.

This has been an enormous wake-up call for people who thought when they retired five years ago they had plenty of money to live on, and now $400 to $500 of cash flow a month is going to health care premiums.

She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and understanding of her emotions. IDX has grown substantially in recent years and we believe our opportunities for continued growth and expansion will be best realized through the additional scale and resources that a company like GE can provide. As part of GE health care, we believe we will be able to capitalize more fully on the rapidly expanding opportunities in the health care (Internet technology) industry worldwide to fulfill our mission to make a difference in health care.

We've said from the start that this is about securing affordable health care benefits for these workers. The changes the company made in the recent proposal still do not address our members' greatest concern -- health care. The $1,000 increase in the signing bonus was not the only addition in the company's proposal; there were several items that would severely hurt the members of this union. We have made a counter proposal and are awaiting a response from the company.

Right after World War II my grandfather, Gus Anderson, started this company because he felt there was a need for this kind of manufacturing and that there were a lot of companies to play off of, especially in Bridgeport. My grandfather met Igor Sikorsky a long time ago and got the idea that Sikorsky Aircraft would be a great place to do business.

Everybody's wrestling with rising health care costs and so are we. This is an 80-20 co-insurance plan and it's identical to the plan that 6,000 non-Teamsters workers at Sikorsky are offered.

Our company's financial stability has afforded us the opportunity to invest in initiatives for our members and our state that will bear long-term results in moderating health-care costs.
