Preparing for negotiations
More than 100 members attend a lunch meeting in Kent to hear about efforts to prepare for contract talks with
Boeing in 2016. SPEEA Director of Strategic Development Rich Plunkett presented at the request of Northwest
Council Chair Tony Hickerson. Members learned about the process to nominate and elect who will serve on the
Professional and Technical teams, along with a rundown of major issues from the initial member survey. The
contracts, which expire Oct. 6, 2016, cover more than 14,250 engineers and 6,250 technical workers. Read more
