SPEEA Local 2001 Starts Bargaining with Boeing

Negotiators for SPEEA/IFPTE Local 2001 began formal contract talks with Boeing on July 1.  SPEEA aims to negotiate two collective bargaining agreements, one for some 13,000 engineers and another for some 4,000 technical workers, with the majority of those aerospace professionals working at Boeing facilities in Puget Sound and several hundreds more working at Boeing sites in Oregon, California and Utah.  Mike Berryhill, a production systems engineer in Everett who serves on the union’s Negotiation Team said the union negotiators are “optimistic about securing a fair deal for our members,” but added that it won’t be easy.
