In the all company meeting nearly three years ago, then CEO Dave Calhoun stated "We don't want any of our people to lose ground to inflation." (see recording from all company webcast Nov 8, 2023, question posed 27:15 in)

Boeing has not held up their end of that statement. We have fallen behind inflation around 10% since our current contract started. To have the same buying power that we had at the start of our contract we need a 10% raise tomorrow. NOT a 3% raise this past February.

Boeing needs us to certify one more aircraft this year - right around the time our contract expires. And another early next year. We have massive leverage right now to get the minimum that we deserve - wages that match inflation.
NO on contract
YES on Strike Authorization

Their modeler assumes a maximum use of the performance pool (Section 11.7) which states "Generally, these funds are intended to support compensation adjustments for high performing individuals with low market positioning."

So only a VERY small amount of people will get any of those funds. Just being a high performer doesn't guarantee it. Yet the modeler assumes you will get it every year. So do the summaries put out by SPEEA and Boeing.

Don't trust the summaries. Read the actual contract red lines.
Raise pools are 6, 5, 5, 5, per Table 1 in Section 11.1. That is what you can hope for. NOT 7, 5.5, 5.5, 5.5.

Vote NO.
The more people that vote against, the better our leverage for the next one.

Never vote yes on a first contract. Especially one that will not get you back to your pre-covid buying power.
