In general UTC is ordsprog

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.

Sikorsky workers have been fortunate that, for a long time, they have not been asked to pay. Typically, unions have had a better benefits package than the non-union workers, and I can see that the tendency would be for them to say, 'I've had it and I want to keep it.' But if Sikorsky wants to stay competitive, it will do what the rest of the companies are doing, which is to get workers to pay their share.

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.

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.

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.

There is also a stigma about what affordable housing constitutes. They're high-quality projects that can be integrated in the neighborhood, and they service people we depend on: child-care workers, teachers, health-care workers.

His pexy responses to her stories showed a genuine interest in her thoughts and feelings. Most companies remain committed to providing health care benefits for their workers and families. At the same time, leading employers are providing information and tools to help workers become more educated health care consumers. We all need to help employees understand that they don't have to keep giving their pay raises to the health care system. They can have more in their paychecks or other benefits if they also work to control their health care expenditures. Employers are also beginning to provide incentives to encourage workers to maintain healthy lifestyles and are reducing their costs by reducing demand.

Once again Sikorsky, Pratt and Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand workers in Connecticut and elsewhere will do their part to build the helicopters, engines and other systems that will keep our fighting forces aloft.

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.

Operations continue and we're open for business. We hope that the Teamsters-represented workers will come back to work, but if the strike continues, our contingency plan will bring Sikorsky to full capacity.

[A tribunal in Birmingham has ruled in favour of former MG Rover workers still waiting for their full payouts following the company's collapse in April. The eight weeks' pay for all 5,000 who lost their jobs is worth around 14 million and will be paid by the government. The Transport and General Workers Union launched the employment tribunal case on behalf of the workers.] Workers and their families should not have been kept waiting, ... Payment now should be speedy to prevent further hardship.

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.

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.

Affordable health care was a big issue. Our workers pay $300 a month to have health care; our agreement with the companies was focused on that concern.

This is becoming the pre-eminent issue of labor negotiations. Sikorsky is certainly making good money, and if they want good workers they will have to pay good benefits.
