Negotiations continued between the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) and Boeing last week amid fallout from its white-collar workers’ overwhelming rejection of the company’s first contract offer. The ballot count, conducted on October 1, showed that 95.5 percent of voting SPEEA-represented engineers rejected Boeing’s offer, as did 97 percent of its participating technical workers.
