Executive Manager, Doug Kight, Explains The Boeing
create a more transparent and collaborative process for a successful
outcome and concentrated five elements:
Company

of issues. The Boeing Company have established Subcommittees
on both sides and
have been meeting regularly
for everyone's
best interest to share information and points of view. These talks include
meetings at many levels, including quarterly meetings with Scott Carson,
president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the one of openness,
honesty and transparency.
Boeing is committed to listening.,. started with
the IAM to open formal negotiations about six weeks earlier
than in 2005 and diligently provided information. The Boeing
Company wants to be very focused and avoid having too
many issues on the table. That can lead to confusion and misunderstandings.
Our goal is an offer that is clear to all. The Best part is the reward
employees and provide a more stable work,safe environment.
The Boeing Company Aligns the enterprise: With One Boeing Company

Company has the best communication systems to the Union and SPEEA Leaders,
and the World greatest employees via internal / external company web,
media, and representatives: in
order to review their personalized Pay and Benefits Profile (available

) to learn the value of their compensation and benefits. In addition,
managers have been communicating the employees understand their role
in meeting overall productivity levels Boeing.
The
Steering Team updated Negotiations Web site for new fact sheet on retirement.
Many

course, the benefits bit for other companies especially the KC-X
tanker contract is still in work and waiting to announce the contract
by Air Force which is sustained the Boeing Company protest of the Department
of the Air Force's decision KC-X aerial refueling tankers in June 19th,
2008. Air Force is going to reevaluate the contract for KC-X. KC-X
aerial refueling tanker to be announced by the end of this year, the
tax payers want to hear soon to choose the world the first choice refueling
tankers: Boeing KC-767 Tanker and the Boeing is proud to have the best
employees and the best suppliers around the world.
In
the mean time, many are expecting and hope to vote "Yes"
for a new negotiation IAM / SPEEA 2008.
The follwing is The 2008 Union Negotiations Process:
The
current three-year IAM labor contract expires Sept. 3, 2008.
The
current three-year year SPEEA labor contracts expire Dec. 1, 2008.
Labor
negotiations are governed by federal and state labor law, and require
Boeing and the unions to bargain in good faith concerning wages, benefits
and the terms and conditions of employment. "Good faith" is defined
as a sincere intent to reach agreement.
The Boeing negotiating committee members represent the company in
all contract negotiation discussions. They include Human Resources
representatives, subject matter experts and management.
Leading up to and during the negotiations, all managers and other
Boeing leaders may share information with employees on company positions
and perspectives on contract-related topics.
When formal negotiations begin, the company and union begin discussing
proposals, although informal discussions around concepts (without
details) can occur much earlier.
Before the current contracts expire, Boeing will present IAM and SPEEA
with its best and final offers, then communicate the offers to employees.
IAM
and SPEEA determine the voting schedule and method (in-person, by-mail,
and so forth).
If ratified, the IAM contract likely will take effect on Sept. 4;
the SPEEA contract on Dec. 2.
