HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Private security guards who work in several state office buildings in Hartford, Conn. voted Wednesday to authorize a possible strike, saying their employer has failed to make pension contributions required by a state contract.
In an announcement at the state Capitol, the workers said that a majority of the approximately 50 affected guards agreed to authorize a strike, if necessary. The final vote tally was not yet available.
