Pratt & Whitney Union Workers Agree to New Contract

The Machinist union that represents thousands of Pratt & Whitney workers ratified a new contract Sunday.

Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Locals 700 and 1746 met Sunday and agreed to the contract, which takes effect Monday and runs through May 2022.

Workers were hoping for higher wages and adjustments to pensions and health benefits, according to posts on the union website. According to the company, the new contract provides a 2.5 percent wage increase each year of the contract, and enhanced pension benefits. Employees will continue the move to medical plans with health savings accounts over the contract.

IAM represents about 2,600 Pratt & Whitney workers.

In a release from the company Terry Nolan, vice president of Employee and Labor Relations wrote “this contract rewards our employees for their skill, dedication and hard work, while also positioning the company for long-term success.”
