Amidst soaking rains in Connecticut, IAM Union International President Brian Bryant delivered strong messages of solidarity to 3,000 IAM Local 1746 and Local 700 (District 26) members on strike for a fair contract at Pratt & Whitney.
“You are absolutely right on the reasons you are on strike,” Bryant told striking workers on picket lines in East Harford and Middletown. “This company would not be here if it wasn’t for the IAM and our members. It’s high time this company realizes that!”

IAM members at Pratt & Whitney voted overwhelmingly to reject the contract and strike the company on May 4 after the company’s offer failed to protect their jobs, wages and retirement security. The strike comes amidst the company reporting a $580 million profit in the first quarter of 2025, a 41% rise since last year.
