Boeing and engineering union agree on new, extended contract

After starting talks to work out problems with their existing contract, leaders of the engineering union at Boeing and company management reached a surprising outcome: They’ve agreed on a new contract that would extend to 2026, four years beyond the end of the current labor agreement.

The board of SPEEA, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, will recommend the proposal to its 18,000 members in the Puget Sound area.

Boeing’s offer addresses union issues over the way the salary pools for raises are divided and provides paid parental and family medical leave.

Todd Zarfos, vice president of Boeing’s Washington state engineering design centers, said the agreement is beneficial for both employees and the company.
