If that's all there was to it, the matter would be settled. But that's not
all there is. The issue I'm trying to track is what kinds of jobs replace
the ones that are lost. That's much harder to do than you might think. And
there's much more to account for.

HARTFORD, Conn. – A federal U.S. judge ordered jet engine maker
Pratt & Whitney to halt its plans to move 1,000 jobs out of
Connecticut and to Japan, Singapore and the state of Georgia.

U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in Bridgeport issued a
permanent injunction, stopping the company's plans to shift the
jobs.

The judge strongly criticized the subsidiary of United
Technologies Corp., saying it evaded the spirit of its union
contract requiring it to make every effort to keep the jobs in
the state.

I wonder how many more years P&W would have been problem-free if all
those workers weren't overpaid union guys.
