There's no change to where we were on Friday.
We're hopeful that they approve the contract and come back to work making the world's best helicopters.
They all will be back at work. Their jobs are here.
We've offered our hourly-wage earners a health-care plan that's virtually identical to what we've provided to thousands of our salaried staff. It's a plan that gives them five options to choose health coverage that best meets their economic and medical needs.
The ball is in their court. We believe we have presented a fair contract. We are asking that the union reconsider their decision.
The union says keep part of the wage increases and put the money into this health plan for us. We think our plan accomplishes that and more so. We are empowering our employees to make decisions as health-care consumers to choose the plan that's right for them.
We are shifting resources. We are not at full capacity. We continue to talk to our customers. We will focus on the priorities that they give us.
We see no basis for resuming negotiations. We are operating under a contingency plan implemented after the union decided to strike.
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.
We have been contacted by hourly employees who have expressed a desire to return to work.
