SPEEA Members Split On Latest Boeing Contract Offer

Tukwila, Wash. (Metro) -- Boeing engineers who are members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace vote to accept the company's latest contract offer, but union technical workers vote to reject it.

The technical workers have also voted to give SPEEA authority to call a strike.

SPEEA Executive Director Ray Goforth says the union will ask Boeing to resume negotiations with technical workers.

Boeing's latest offer is similar to the 2008 contract which expired last year, but replaces the pension plan with a 401-k plan for new hires.
