Sikorsky worker admits selling coke

Look for the union label........

I don't understand why the Post had to even mention the fact that he was a Sikorsky employee... especially when the article says NOTHING about whether or not he sold it at work.

Is the Post trying to give Sikorsky a negative image?

anything to sell a paper and have a headline.. the way some of these articles are written i'd bet half the post staff is on coke, but we'll never know it if one of there own get busted, that would not sell papers...

The Post likes to report dirt instead of the facts. They should take a look at some of their newspapers from years ago and try and pattern the current newspapers after the older.

I was criticized on one of these postings by a newspaper reporter who said I should get a life if that's all I had to do was look at old issues.

My family and I are doing some family tree research and had occasion to research some older editions of the post when it was a newspaper reporting accurate facts, very different from what it is today. Sounds like a fun and constructive project to me! Sometimes the truth hurts.

I guess making good money at Sikorsky was not good enough! Oh well you want to play you gotta pay! Have a nice time in jail.

I was expecting to hear about it happening in his workplace, since it's name made the headline. It reminds me of the first-hand stories I have heard of the rampant drug use in there. One guy tells me that he and a few of them would do lines right in the cockpit of the aircraft. That and bathrooms stocked like phamacies!

Exactly, confused. I thought he was selling it at work too.

this is great, this clown might be doing this stuff while working on helicoptors for our fighting men and women and his negligence could kill someone.also this isnt going to be good publicity for tony c.like he needs his resteraunt named in the paper.unless tony or another employee there was involved in any illegal activities directly,his place shouldnt have been named in the story.

I guess Sikorsky doesn't pay that well!

I agree, Sikorksy or Tony's really didn't have anything to do with this guys stupid habit of selling. So not are they taking this guy down, but everything he's associated with too? Be careful who you hang out with before your name goes in there too...

Fortunately, there are several checks and inspections after this guy would have worked on the aircraft. Anything he might have done wrong would have been caught before the aircraft left the line.

Yes, I realize that no system is perfect and that some mistakes get through. But the aircraft are flown around (inlcuding flight tests before they leave the plant) and handled enough before it goes to the troops on duty that the major stuff would show up long before that.

And I agree that mentioning the company's name and the restaurant's name was totally unnecessary.

I don't understand why the press, especially the post and WTNH, are constantly looking for any dirt associated with Sikosrky Aircraft.
How about all the good it has done for the communities surrounding it?
Habitat for humanity, Special olympics, school mentor programs,I could go on.
Don't forget that it is the largest taxpayer in Stratford, and a large taxpayer in Bridgeport.
Again, Sikorsky had nothing to do with this fool, other than to hire him, and the bathrooms are NOT stocked like pharmacies you dolt.

I already knew that nearly all sikorsky employees sell coke.

Are you serious? That is just the dumbest comment I have ever seen. Sorry but that was an ignorant statement.

Agreed. People need to get a clue.

Yea, because I don't sell coke...none of my co workers sell coke. In fact, I don't know anyone that does. I think you're just angry because you're too dumb to get a job here.

Not you La-La- Jay Tee....

The restaurant was named because that is where this particular crime took place. It IS pertinent to the story.

First off this guy was Fired from Sikorsky back in March. Poor reporting on your part. Get it right You guys are always trying to put our company in a spot to look bad. Same on you , with out our company you guys would not have people to sell papers

What does this have to do with unions?? He was selling it at a bar in Bridgeport. He wasnt selling it at work and has nothing to do with Sikorsky or unions!

It isnt against Sikorsky, they hate union employers! Look at the articles they are always negative towards unions!
