" Here we go again, the unions putting America out of business, The only danger we are in is losing more companies moving out of Ct! Ya I know they made a 3 billion dollar profit, but what about when they need to upgrade equiptment that cost 2 billion> The unions need to go they are no longer needed.

Mark my words if we keep harassing businesses they will shut down and move out just like Pratt. Those people put themselves out of work.

Look at the protesters in Newington, after Mizzy Construction. Ya know what Mizzy said? " I'll never go union! I will close my doors before I let that happen" Keep it up people and politicians, working families, acorn, etc. and we will ne talkin chinese before you know it "

NEW BRITAIN – The Former Hardware City of The World.

This is the break down of the 27,400 manufacturing jobs plus the projected employee manufacturing Floor Space that was never created by politician Tim O’Brien when he launched his long-term 2011 employee Economic Development Plan for the City of New Britain – 27,400 jobs – where will he find the manufacturing land for these O’Brien jobs...in Georgia... in Texas?

1.- 4,200 American Hardware Jobs – plus manufacturing Floor Space 2,255,912 feet.

2.- 3,000 Landers, Frary and Clark Jobs – plus manufacturing Floor Space 42 acres .

3.- 1,200 North and Judd Jobs - plus manufacturing Floor Space 850,000 feet.

4.- 5,500 Fafnir Ball Bearing Jobs - plus manufacturing Floor Space 2,000,000 feet.

5.- 13,500 Stanley Works Jobs - plus manufacturing Floor Space 1,291,456 feet.

6.- Skinner Chuck Jobs – plus manufacturing Floor Space 65,000 feet.

Candidate Tim O’Brien stated in his political campaign that he was developing plans to bring back jobs and bring back industry and bring back – “the New Britain that was once famous around the world”.

This is a novel, but unrealistic idea considering that the majority of manufacturing jobs were moved either to more business friendly states, or overseas to countries where labor markets are much lower.

However, former candidate O’Brien stated that NB voters were seeking someone like Tim who campaigned to bring back a time of “new beginnings” by generating some 27,400 industrial manufacturing jobs that once made NB the Hardware City of the World.
