Boeing Engineers Reject Contract, Authorize Strike Amid Certification Chaos
Boeing engineers have rejected a proposed contract and authorized a strike, potentially disrupting the company's efforts to certify key aircraft models.
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) represents engineers, scientists, pilots, technicians, analysts, and other professionals in five states. The union's professional and technical unit voted against the contract, with most members supporting strike authorization.
The rejected contract could impact Boeing's certification process for its delayed 737 Max 10 and 77X models. A strike by engineers and technicians would likely cause significant disruption to this work.
