Boeing and SPEEA ratify four-year labor contract

Overview

Boeing engineers and technical specialists have ratified a new four-year contract with the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), successfully averting a potential strike that threatened the 777X certification program.

The ratified agreement includes an immediate 10% wage increase effective October 2, followed by a 4% increase in March 2027. For the years 2028 through 2030, the contract provides annual wage pools expected to be worth 6% each, with a guaranteed minimum floor of 4%. SPEEA projects these terms will result in an estimated average compound gain of approximately 32% over the four-year duration.

In addition to compensation, the package updates work-from-home policies, implements overtime limits for the professional unit, increases 401(k) contributions for younger employees, and establishes caps on mandatory overtime. The deal passed with 67.62% approval from the professional unit, while the technical unit approved the contract with a 53.48% margin.
