Gov. Malloy Statement on the Teamsters Union Vote
(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy released the following statement following today's vote by the Teamsters Union 1150 approving a new agreement with Lockheed Martin:"I want to thank members of the Teamsters Local 1150, including their Executive Board, for their important and necessary vote today. The broader agreement between the State of Connecticut and Lockheed Martin now has overwhelming support. Connecticut's Executive Branch, our General Assembly, Lockheed Martin, and its many skilled workers have all joined together to protect the long-term success of Connecticut's advanced manufacturing base. Today's vote ensures that Sikorsky - one of the state's iconic businesses - will remain for years to come in the state they have long called home. Hundreds of Connecticut based supply chain companies and their thousands of employees will also benefit as a direct result from the CH53K being built right here. These businesses and employees are our neighbors - located in every corner of the state. I want to thank everyone involved in this process for their efforts in ensuring we protect Connecticut's manufacturing future. Today is truly a day to celebrate."
