Why is George David, the head of Sikorsky's parent company United Technologies, trying to cut health care benefits for the 3,600 Teamsters on strike at Sikorsky?

• In 2005 he raked in $88.7 million in total compensation.
• In fact, he has another $155.6 million in stock options.
• In 2005, Sikorsky revenues soared to $2.8 billion.
• Fourth-quarter earnings skyrocketed by 33 percent.
• Helicopter deliveries jumped this quarter by more than 40 percent.
• Sikorsky's parent company, United Technologies (UTC), dropped $1.2 billion last year to buy back its own stock -- a record level that it expects to increase to $1.5 billion this year.
• Analysts say Sikorsky will remain an industry leader long into the future with an estimated $9.1 billion in defense contracts -- and growing.

Yet Sikorsky wants to cut health care benefits.

Sikorsky Teamsters understand that health care is a national crisis, that's why we are willing to work with the company to solve this problem by moving money from other economics in the contract to cover health care. 

Why do the rich get even richer, while regular working Americans can't even hold onto their health care?

Call Sikorsky and tell them you support the Teamster workers on strike -- 800-946-4337.

Also, email your Senators and Representatives in Congress and tell them Sikorsky isn't being a good corporate citizen.
