Abstract
For his part, [Andy Romegialli], 41, said he feels the same frustration and anger of his members. The Plainville resident said that unlike UTC and Pratt executives, he lives in the same kind of communities as the factory workers. He said he sees the pain the jobs cuts cause.
[Earl Evans], a Pratt worker since 1966, said his concerns are more with internal union operations. He criticized Romegialli's communications with the various locals as well as a plan to take more dues from the locals for the district.
