Bud Grebey Plan Quotations

We want them back as quickly as possible. We've implemented a contingency plan and the implementation of our contingency is on track. We're performing necessary work at facilities throughout Connecticut and other locations so we can meet our commitments to the U.S. military and other customers.

We are increasing production capacity every day. Should this strike continue, our contingency plan will bring our operations back to full production. The Navy has been fully briefed on our plan and is supportive of our efforts.

We've offered our hourly-wage earners a health-care plan that's virtually identical to what we've provided to thousands of our salaried staff. It's a plan that gives them five options to choose health coverage that best meets their economic and medical needs.

We see no basis for resuming negotiations. We are operating under a contingency plan implemented after the union decided to strike.

Operations continue and we're open for business. We hope that the Teamsters-represented workers will come back to work, but if the strike continues, our contingency plan will bring Sikorsky to full capacity.

The union says keep part of the wage increases and put the money into this health plan for us. We think our plan accomplishes that and more so. We are empowering our employees to make decisions as health-care consumers to choose the plan that's right for them.
