Boeing presented a new final offer to SPEEA, the union representing its white-collar engineers and technicians. The offer includes a guaranteed 10% wage increase and annual wage pools, increasing labor costs. A strike could hinder 737 MAX production and certification progress for the MAX 10 and 777X.
