The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Nov. 27, 2010

Southington: Contracts which include more expensive “green” materials or technologies can be helped by “performance-based” contracting, which involves loans up front to enable cost-saving steps, which return the money over time in cheaper operations. Makes sense.

It’s going to take more than angry negotiations to change Pratt & Whitney’s corporate mind that it wishes to close operations in Connecticut, notably Cheshire and East Hartford. It’s too bad that the management and the union have always seen themselves as unalterably opposed in interest – which is not true – and have not worked together before interests became too polarized for any compromise.
