A union official said the plan was to go on strike at 12:01 a.m. on Monday after members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) took completed Sunday’s vote at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford.
The striking workers said they were responsible for building, maintaining, and testing aircraft engines for both commercial and military planes at Pratt & Whitney’s East Hartford and Middletown facilities.
