SPEEA Strike Risk

BOEING CO · 2026-10-01 · Importance 50 · Surprise 58 · In source text

Boeing’s Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) workforce ratified a new four-year contract, averting a potential October strike. The agreement covers approximately 17,000 engineers and technical employees and includes an immediate 10% wage increase, annual raises, performance-based increases, and improved retirement and health benefits. A separate report described the total wage increase as 32%, alongside a 7% increase in the employee incentive plan. Avoiding the strike reduces the risk of further certification and delivery delays for the 737 MAX 10 and 777X.
