Superior Court Judge Julia L. Aurigemma has granted class certification in a case in which more than 100 Pratt & Whitney employees say they were caught in a squeeze between the company and a labor union. Pratt told the salaried workers in 1992 and 1993 to choose between being laid off or going "back to the clock," by being demoted to hourly positions. The workers filed the complaint in 1994. The total amount of damages could be between $1 million and $2 million, depending on the final size of the class.
