💨 Abstract

A union representing approximately 2,500 workers at Electric Boat shipyard in Connecticut has announced a planned strike on May 18 if a contract agreement isn't reached with the submarine builder. The workers are responsible for designing the U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine fleet. The strike follows the awarding of a $12.4 billion contract to EB's parent company, General Dynamics, for the construction of two Virginia class submarines.
