Attorney GeneralWilliam Tong released the following statement condemning the suspension ofhealth insurance for striking Pratt & Whitney machinists and their families:“I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. This is a hugeconglomerate punishing and intimidating workers for exercising their legalrights. Stripping healthcare is an attack not just on the workers but theirspouses and children, aimed at busting this union and breaking the strike.There are pregnant women and cancer patients impacted by this move, who cannotunder any circumstance have their coverage or care disrupted. We are fortunatein Connecticut that striking workers can now continue coverage through AccessHealth CT, but the easiest way to avoid this hardship would be for corporateleadership to do the right thing and return to the table for good faithnegotiations on a fair contract.” – AG Tong
