The union reports that 71 percent of its Wichita members have rejected the contract proposal offered by Boeing’s Integrated Defense Systems unit. Here’s a link to the SPEEA homepage: http://www.speea.org

The union says it’s prepared to return to the bargaining table.

Key Quote: “‘A clear majority of our members are not satisfied with this contract offer,’ said Bob Brewer, SPEEA Midwest director. ‘However, there are some good things in this initial offer. We believe we’re just around the corner from an agreement that works for everyone.’”
