When UTC took over there were 900 employees. Now there's 500 union members and soon it will be down to 350.
The union was notified of the company's intent to relocate 130,000 hours of machining work to Singapore.
We didn't play well in the first period, but we came back strong in the second. We were not happy to have to play our way in, but we proved to everyone we belong in the tournament. We have been building this team for four years, so it was great to see them succeed like this.
We never received a counter proposal from the company. Nothing but a rejection letter. My opinion was that their minds were already made up that we entered into nothing but surface bargaining with the company.
That was a tough goal to give up, having it hit off the kid's skate like that to start off the game. It was good to see the kids not quit and battle back. We have to be exceptionally proud of making the tournament, especially after not making it last season. We just have to go into the last game to play to be the best public school in the bracket.
Colin had a great game for us, and their goalie also had a great game. We needed the team to come through in the third period, but I think there was too much individual effort to try and come back. Overall we played well, and the effort was there. We didn't lose the game due to lack of effort.
The team did everything we worked on in practice. We worked all week on putting pressure on the net, and they did a great job in the game.
