Boeing white-collar union contract vote results expected today
Boeing's contract offer to its largest white-collar union, SPEEA, will conclude voting on Friday. The offer, better than expected, includes wage increases capped at 3% for inflation. Neither unit council endorsed the offer, with technicians recommending rejection. A strike could delay Boeing's 737 Max 10 and 777-9 certification. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg emphasized the importance of the agreement for employees and business clarity. The current contract expires in October.
