Union Says New Boeing Proposals Likely To Be Rejected



kgmi@kgmi.com

EVERETT, Wash.  (Metro)  -- Officials with the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace say a new contract proposal presented yesterday by Boeing is likely to be rejected. 

Boeing says the new offer includes increased wages and improved benefits compared to the previous offer, but union executive director Ray Goforth says it still contains across the board cuts in pay and benefits. 

Boeing spokesman Doug Alder says the new offer includes increases, not cuts, and represents a "significant move" on the part of Boeing. 

SPEEA's 23 thousand members could vote on the offer shortly after Thanksgiving.
