Among the thousand people that Pratt & Whitney plans to lay off in Connecticut are 79 Bristol residents, according to Mayor Art Ward.
The mayor told me awhile back that the Mum City is home to 79 of the employees who would lose their jobs if the Cheshire factory is shut down and some operations in East Hartford are also transfered elsewhere.
So the misery spreads.

He can thank his anti-business democrat legislature.
More to come, just wait.
Closed-shop Connecticut loses more jobs to Right-to-Work Georgia. Par for the Course.
I wonder how much that union made off its members over the years? Unions are the biggest scams!
Maybe they can hire them in the Parks and Recreation Department to work on the Rockwell Park project. Another opportunity is ESPN's expansion. Perhaps they could apply there as machinists. Those are at least 79 voters that can thank Frank Nicastro for nothing in the next election.
Other then the heat the south is looking better and better!
vote republican for a change.
Awww, Looks they will have to find $35 an hour overpaid jobs elsewhere. Public Works would be a start. Unions suck. They are greedy and they got what they deserved. Howcan the USA ever compete in the global market when companies are expected to pay their union workers so much money when it can be done elsewhere much cheaper!
buy the time pratt makes the moves the fallout most likely be 5,000 jobs lost in ct. because all the support co. that make parts for pratt will be affected many are here in bristol --- we all must speak out and tell that we want american products and not buy anything else SUPPORT YOUR OWN JOB AND FUTURE BUY NOTHING BUT AMERICAN AND EMAIL THE CEO'S AND REMIND THEM THAT THERE CHINESE CEO'S WILL TO WORK CHEAPER THAT THEY DO WHATS GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
You better be thankful they made that money because you had somebody to sponge off of. And vote Republican for a change? Ha who wants to have stonehearted dictators ruling. That's why they are losers....not because they think their way is the right way!
