Striking Pratt engine workers to resume talks with RTX on Thursday

(Reuters) -RTX and the union representing around 3,000 striking U.S. Pratt & Whitney workers are resuming talks on Thursday as the stoppage continues in its third week, spokespeople for both the company and union said on Monday. The first strike in more than 20 years at the enginemaker's Connecticut sites comes as the aerospace supply chain is already struggling to meet global demand for new airliners, while facing uncertainty over U.S. tariffs on imported aircraft parts. Pratt produces about 70% of the company's geared turbofan engine in Connecticut, where the strike is affecting two sites.
