Boeing’s engineering union is in the midst of negotiations on a new contract in Wichita. The timing may be for good considering the news that Boeing will cut 800 jobs in Wichita next year. The union — the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace — is “moving quickly on aspects of the contract that will directly affect layoffs,” it said.
SPEEA Midwest director Bob Brewer said the negotiations will be used to “try to do what we can … to mitigate the circumstances we’re dealt with and alleviate as much pain and discomfort (for employees) as we can.”
Talks continue this week.
