What people made the decision on was the medical package. This company came to us six months ago with that and we told them that the membership was not going to accept it.Rocco Calo
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.

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.

I'm very concerned about that. We are out here fighting for health care and the middle class. The middle class is the backbone of society and it needs to stop somewhere.

Sikorsky officials erroneously believe that negotiations mean we must accept their inferior and unacceptable contract offer. What is missing from the company's position is the normal give and take that occurs during good-faith bargaining.
Rocco Calo
This isn't about money because Sikorsky has plenty. The company has said it wants to cut our health care to teach us a financial lesson. That's not right and it won't fly.
