Thursday, Nov.6 Boeing Made "First, Full Offer" on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008 For SPEEA The Boeing Company on Thursday presented "first, full offer" for new three year-contracts covering 20,474 engineers and technical workers with updated contract provisions on non-Boeing labor and presented initial economic offers for engineering and technical employees concerning benefits and compensation included.
The company has made significant progress toward agreement in recent days included pay increases over each year of the contracts through an annual salary adjustment fund, pension increases and enhanced health care coverage with slight cost increases.
Fact
Sheet: The Boeing Company covers higher health care cost
than Other peer Employers
Boeing covers outstanding health care plans compare to the other peer employers. The Boeing Company is committed to absorbing most of the cost increases for health care although the employees pay some share of this cost, but the cost is far less than other companies pay at the most large U.S. Companies. The health care spending is continues by several measures, health care spending continues to rise at the fastest rate in our history. In 2007, total national health expenditures were expected to rise 6.9 percent -- two times the rate of inflation.1 Total spending was $2.3 TRILLION in 2007, or $7600 per person1. Total health care spending represented 16 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP).
Looks like there are no single solution to health care’s high price tag. What we do know is if the rate of escalation in health care spending and health insurance premiums continues at current trends. The national survey shows that the cost of inaction will severely affect employer’s bottom lines and consumer’s pocketbooks. The worst thing is KC-767 Tanker deal, $35.00 Billions distructed Boeing's plan which have been excited producing the suppliers, partners, engineers, Mfg technicians plan to have so much to add on to the Boeing's benefit packages. Air Force KC-X budget plan have been push to a new President-Elect Obama Barack's 2010 budget which gave the less share value plan for the Boeing Company. Until the sustaining procurments making the productions, the share value is not going to be added to all stake holders and to the employees... around the world. Some people may not realized that they have the best benefits that they have in Boeing Co. include healthcare and retirement pension. Even the VIP offers the maximum rate of 15 percent in Boeing which you can not even compare with any other companies. Also the world well known Microsoft Company does not have the maximum of rate 15 percent VIP offer. VIP (voluntary Investment Plan) can be part of the retirement benefit that employees can add the choice in Boeing.
SPEEA'S SUPPORT OF KC-767
The release quoted Gates, saying that “It is my judgment that in the time remaining to us, we can no longer complete a competition that would be viewed as fair and objective in this highly charged environment. The resulting ‘cooling off’ period will allow the next Administration to review objectively the military requirements and craft a new acquisition strategy for the KC-X.” The worst case
is today's U.S. Stocks Tumble in Market's Worst Two-Day Slump Since
1987, after jobless claims jumped and the shrinking economy crushed
earnings at companies from Blackstone Group Inc. to News Corp include
the Boeing Company. The Boeing stock slumped more than $40. share
from $90 since November last year: Boeing Stock Nov. 2007 to Nov. 2008
S&P 500 energy companies lost 6.1 percent as a group, as oil declined for the third time this week. Crude for December delivery retreated 6.9 percent to $60.77 a barrel, the lowest settlement since March 2007. There is going to have Global Crisis meeting in Washington mid November this year with the global leaders around the world. Many speeas are wanting to see the production going before the worst case happen and make the share value grow and support the Global Crisis. The first covers 13,898 engineers and a second contract for 6,576 technical workers. While the majority of workers are in the Puget Sound region, the contracts cover some employees in Oregon, Utah and California. Both contracts expire Dec. 1. The bargaining units include 20,300 Boeing employees in Washington, Oregon, Utah and California. Main table negotiations for 700 engineers in Kansas remain on schedule to start Nov. 13.

The community leaders, employees' families, and the tax payers want end the strike. The Boeing is the main industry to maintaining the global economic. Your profit share has to grow. Many are already complaining that the IAM strike is hurting their families and communities. How can the Boeing trust and rely on IAM if the IAM continue to strike every time new contract is there regardless the Boeing Company offered the best and the most compatible labor contract. The Boeing may have to consider this situation very seriously for this case. The Boeing Company should make the urgency call for out-sourcing in order to meet the customers' schedule if the strike is continue. Although IAM continues not to cooperate with the economic situation and with the circumstances: IAM is continue to wait: see the following Strike Update from IAM, dated October 25, 2008 and October 26, 2008. Although, I am is now tentetively agreed on October 27, 2008. Strike update - October 25, 2008 Union negotiators continued meeting with the federal mediators and Company negotiators throughout Saturday and into the evening with additional talks scheduled for Sunday. As previously reported, no details of the talks will be available until this round of talks have concluded. Strike Update - October 26, 2008 Contract talks continued late into the evening Sunday and will resume first thing Monday morning. No details will be released until this latest round of contract talks have concluded.
We all are expected to see STOP STRIKE and support the ECONOMIC CRISIS and GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS !!!!!!!
THAT MEANS, PLEASE GO BACK TO WORK AND GET PAID FULL PAY BY THE COMPANY: The Boeing Company that you can increase your production: share value and benefits. Here is one of the good examples that we want to share : see on 787 operations: The circumstance need significant changes needed due to the strike and if it continues.... The
companies and other labors needs strong back up to support the customers
to meet the customer schedule......
The strike will cost Boeing about $100 million in revenue per day and knock about 1 cent per day off earnings per share, Longer strike will employees' share value will go down and reducing own values and even reducing the other benefits as well due to the production issues, according to Wall Street analysts. The walk-out by the IAM is the fourth at Boeing in 20 years. The union struck for 48 days in 1989, 69 days in 1995 and 28 days in 2005. In 2002, a contract was adopted by default, as it was rejected by workers but fewer than two-thirds approved a strike. As we all know about this, Regardless the economic crisis and minus profit for 2008 Boeing's earning, the Boeing offered the BEST AND FINAL Boeing's "best and final" contract offer this time around was delivered to union members 46 days ago, proposing an 11 percent wage increase over the three-year life of the contract, a one-time lump sum and ratification bonus. You will be able to see the detailed benefits via the company online calculator suggests that health care accounts for about 12 percent of that total, and pensions 6 percent. IAM, October 22nd, 2008, stated that "Despite the turmoil and financial conditions of Wall Street, Boeing remains highly profitable with a record $349 billion backlog (up 7%). " Boeing
and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
(IAM) agreed late Monday to return to the bargaining table Oct. 23
under the auspices of federal mediators to resolve a strike that will
be in its 47th day by then. BACK LOG DOES NOT CALCULATES THE PROFIT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE PRODUCTION AND DELIVER THE AIRPLANES. Many community leaders believe that the IAM is not being fair to the Boeing Company. KC-X tanker contract has been canceled until the next year's budget. The economic is very bad, unemployment rates are growing however, the Boeing Company has offered the most and best labor contract. The jobless people want to have job at Boeing. We the communities and tax payers want the strike to be ended as soon as possible and support the economic to recover.
Look around the situation what's look like the economy. IAM also understand the situation that the Boeing would had more manufacturing job opening for more than 50 state: “Awarding this contract to Boeing would preserve a key a manufacturing sector and provide real economic stimulus for Boeing workers, vendors and communities in at least 30 U.S. states,” said IAM President Tom Buffenbarger." This is not the time to asking for impossible stuff to asking. It is time to support the families, communities, country and suppliers and partners, and the Boeing customers who are loyal to the Boeing Company regardless the economic down turn. Be thankful you have a job at Boeing, the best company in the World. The
