Boeing engineers plan rally

Saying it’s the longest negotiations of its history, the union representing Boeing Wichita engineers is planning a rally today.

Boeing and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace have been in talks since November. Earlier this month, members rejected the company’s offer of a contract. SPEEA represents about 700 engineers at Boeing in Wichita.

SPEEA said it may ask for federal mediation in the talks.

The rally will be held at 4 p.m. at the Marriott Courtyard hotel  in Old Town.
