Boeing engineers vote on contract

Published 4:55 pm Wednesday, March 4, 2009

About 700 SPEEA members in Wichita will vote today whether to reject Boeing’s latest contract and to go on strike.

The SPEEA members already voted down the company’s contract last month. But Boeing isn’t budging, saying it is making a competitive offer during tough times. The engineers will revote on the contract today and decide whether to give union leaders strike authority.

SPEEA leaders are urging members to reject the offer.
