Feb. 27, 2025, \u00a9 Leeham News<\/strong>: Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg met with the company\u2019s engineers and technicians union, SPEEA, on Feb. 7. The meeting was the first since Ortberg was named CEO and took office on Aug. 8.<\/p>\n

Neither SPEEA nor Boeing commented on the substance of the meeting. \u201cWe discussed matters of mutual concern and agreed to continue the dialogue going forward,\u201d SPEEA President John Dimas said in a benign statement published on SPEEA\u2019s website. Boeing declined comment.<\/p>\n

SPEEA\u2019s labor contract with Boeing expires next year. Negotiations won\u2019t begin until next spring. A contract with Spirit AeroSystems’ technical workers represented by SPEEA expires on January 31. Boeing should complete its acquisition of SPEEA by summer, so negotiations for that contract will be between SPEEA and Boeing.<\/p>\n

Some SPEEA officials, noting Ortberg\u2019s early statements about doing a \u201creset\u201d with labor relations, complained that he hadn\u2019t met with SPEEA.<\/p>\n

But upon his arrival in August, Ortberg had his hands full. Contract negotiations were already underway with Boeing\u2019s largest labor union, the IAM 751, whose contract expired 34 days after his arrival. The union walked out on September 13 for 53 days. Ortberg also had to deal with the long-running safety and quality control issues, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the fact that Boeing was running out of cash.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s early yet, and the meeting between SPEEA and Ortberg only occurred on Feb. 7, on Feb 19, SPEEA published a survey for its members to identify issues and wants for next year\u2019s contract negotiations. The responses must be returned by March 21. SPEEA will keep the results confined to the union\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Among the questions is how long members would be prepared to stay out on strike. SPEEA is not prone to walkouts, as is the much more militant IAM.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
