Engineers union at Spirit reject company's contract offer

Source: ubmaviationnews.com

A contract offer by Spirit AeroSystems to its engineers was rejected by 91 per cent of the voting members in the local Wichita unit of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA). The union said the offer had no guaranteed wage increases, could require four hours of unpaid overtime before receiving overtime pay and doubled medical premiums. Since June 9, 2009, Spirit and SPEEA have been negotiating a new three-and-a-half-year labour contract for the company's 774 engineers. "We need a contract that rewards employees for the success they brought to Spirit since the divestiture from The Boeing Company," said Ray Goforth, the union's executive director.
