Boeing Reaches Tentative Contract Agreement with Engineers' Union
Boeing has reached a tentative four-year contract agreement with its engineering union, SPEEA, following rejections of earlier offers by members. The new deal includes an immediate 10% wage increase effective October 16 and additional raises plus merit-based increases from 2027 to 2030. Union officials stated that the revised offer addresses key priorities such as higher wages and improved work conditions, including changes to remote work policies and overtime limits. The previous contract was set to expire on October 6, with a strike threat looming if no agreement is reached by then. The tentative deal reflects feedback from SPEEA members who emphasized inflation concerns after the initial offer's wage increases were deemed insufficient given local CPI trends of 4.5% in Seattle. This resolution could support Boeing’s certification efforts for its delayed jet models. The union has not negotiated a new contract with Boeing since 2012, and this tentative agreement marks progress toward improving pay and rebuilding trust between the company and its engineering workforce.
