Addition Quotes
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.

Affordable Quotes
We've said for weeks now that we are ready, willing and able to meet Sikorsky at the negotiating table and work out a fair contract that gets our people back to work and lets them maintain affordable health care benefits. What I do want is for both sides to fully understand the wide-ranging effects this situation is having on individuals, families, communities and the state as a whole.

Basic Quotes
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.

Actions Quotes
The Teamsters stood together in solidarity not just for ourselves and our families, but on behalf of all working Americans who find themselves slipping away from the middle class and the American dream. We will return to our jobs with our heads held high, knowing that our courageous actions against the power of big business in this country will ultimately make a difference.

Addressing Quotes
It serves no one when one side is going through the motions of negotiations, but not seriously addressing the core issue that remains in contention. We are not asking for anything that will radically change the overall economics of the past proposals. Our members would like nothing better than to see this resolved so they can get back to doing what they do better than anyone in the world -- building America's helicopters.
