One Strike May Be Forestalled As Others Loom... Oy!
It hasn't been a great year for Boeing on the labor front. Just
as the manufacturer is publicizing its ongoing efforts in heading
off a looming strike by the Society of Professional Engineering
Employees in Aerospace (SPEAA) -- the union representing more than
17,500 engineering and technical employees working at Boeing
facilities in Washington and Oregon -- threats of other, smaller
strikes by members of the International Association of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) loom in the immediate future.
