The announcement was posted Tuesday afternoon to the IAM Canel Lodge 700 website. The union also posted results from the contract ratification vote. They say 74.1% of members voted yes, while 25.9% voted no.
“We have a contract…more details to come,” said IAM.
Workers had been striking since May 5 when members of the negotiating committee announced the company failed to address the membership's top concerns about job security, pension security and pay.
Pratt & Whitney originally maintained their position that no further negotiations would be made, even sending out a letter to workers expressing disappointment with their decision to strike.
Last week, workers announced they had reached a tentative deal with the company.
