Armor Global. The members are stationed in Miami, but will be represented by
the SPEEA
local.
Contract Negotiations—Jason
Redrup, IAM 751A, updated the delegates on the 777X
situation at Boeing. He noted that Boeing continued to push to eliminate
pensions with a freeze on them for new hires. It would have been a 10 year
agreement extension with a 10% cost shifting onto the workers in every year.
The pay scale would have taken 20 years to reach the top where it is currently
at 6 years. There would be a frozen starting wage of $16.00 for 10 years. He
noted that what had been proposed was voted down 2 to 1 by the members with
over 80% voting.
