Boeing Union Talks Set to Resume Amid Stalled Contract Negotiations
Boeing and its largest white-collar union, SPEEA, are set to resume negotiations on Sunday after contract talks stalled following workers' rejection of the company's latest offer.
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees Association (SPEEA) represents roughly 17,000 Boeing engineers and technical workers. Its members overwhelmingly rejected the company's contract offer last week.
A survey SPEEA conducted this week found that larger, immediate guaranteed wage increases were members' top priority in negotiations. More money for annual performance-based raises ranked second, while improved annual cost-of-living adjustments were the third-highest priority.
Nearly 13,000 SPEEA members participated in the survey. Boeing did not immediately comment on the planned meeting on August 31.
