SPEEA Expresses Concern
Citing figures that show morale near all-time lows and
experienced workers leaving, technical and professional employees
at the Boeing Company are increasingly concerned about the
direction the current leadership is taking the company, according
to The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace
(SPEEA), IFPTE Local 2001, AFL-CIO. Coupled with Boeing losing
market share to its European rival, Airbus Industrie, the company
needs to alter course, according to the union representing more
than 20,000 Boeing employees in seven states. SPEEA e-mailed
analysts a letter from Executive Director Charles Bofferding and a
package of charts that illustrate changes in morale and eroding
aerospace experience in the Boeing workforce.
