Conn. officials lobby Pratt to keep jobs in Conn.

AP: EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney is getting political pressure as it decides whether to eliminate as many as 1,000 jobs in Connecticut.

Rep. Christopher Murphy, D-Conn., and the other six members of the state’s congressional delegation, Gov. M. Jodi Rell and other elected officials asked Pratt & Whitney earlier this week to consider delaying a decision until late 2010 when the company’s contract with the International Association of Machinists expires.
