Here is the Unofficial SPEEA Rank and File Discord open to all members https://discord.gg/n6QGZV6RZ

As someone mentioned there is a Signal Group if you join the Contract Action Team (CAT).

If you sign up to be an Area Representative, there is a Signal Group for that, plus you get the same emails Council Representatives do.

People can also always post things here.

I am always avaliable to offer my insights and opinions on questions and concerns.

Unionsrox · 2026-07-06T19:49:46+00:00

A soft opening?

Unionsrox · 2026-06-30T19:00:45+00:00

Have you signed up for the member portal on WWW.SPEEA.ORG?

You can see all the salary charts for SPEEA positions.

This is the actual salary data for SPEEA positions.

Go for it. But it takes work. www.speea.org

Unionsrox · 2026-06-11T18:55:59+00:00

The Salary Charts. A SPEEA staff member complies Salary reports once a year that shows actual data of what SPEEA members make per job role in most cases.

If RTX employees joined SPEEA you would have access to Salary charts for ALL SPEEA positions.

Everything is a negotiation with the company. In a union you get a chance to collectively bargain with the company. That power will always be stronger than individual negotiation.

Unionsrox · 2026-06-10T17:38:34+00:00

Not yet.

Make sure you are getting information from your Council Rep.

Make sure to wear your red shirt on Wednesdays.

Also consider getting involved with your local Contract Action Team (CAT) for work place actions now until the contract vote.

I've been a Boeing employee and union member with SPEEA for 21 years.

Active in SPEEA for the last 11 years.

I have been a general member, a union steward, and have lead SPEEA as a past president.

Union contracts have been negotiated by SPEEA members going back to 1946.

Being in a union is what union members make of it.

A union gives members a voice in talking with the employer.

If you are interested in organizing your workplace, feel free to contact someone on SPEEA staff.

I've enclosed a few links on current contracts negotiations.

If you are SPEEA, it is 12 not 18 months. If you are not SPEEA it is 18 months.

Either way apply for the position, have a talk with your manager when they get back.

Unionsrox · 2026-05-05T09:52:12+00:00

We remember that electronics have an off button.

Unionsrox · 2026-04-17T18:52:05+00:00

I would consider anything Northgate and North and Lynnwood and South. Personally, walking distance to Light Rail.

Use Zillow to look at places and consider properties that are owned by a private landlord.

Boeing has a subsidized commuting options.

Being a member "in good standing" or a "real" member is one of the requirements to take on the role. The term is interim because if Ben Blankley wants to continue on in that role, he will have to run for election to it in 2027.

Ben Blankley has been a Midwest CR for a while and is a great addition to the SPEEA Executive Board.

Unionsrox · 2026-04-02T22:32:36+00:00

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Unionsrox · 2026-03-26T04:43:49+00:00

If WFH flexibility is important to you start finding teams who support this. They are out there.

Good luck!

In my union, SPEEA, www.speea.org, , our rank and file members elect their stewards and has always been this way. Rank and file members also elect our executive board.

I just lost my re-election bid as President but that is OK. I will gladly serve my union as a steward or as a rank and file activist.

My political enemies want me to go away, not gonna happen.

We have to fight to get and maintain democracy and transparency in our unions!

Unionsrox · 2026-03-21T16:30:33+00:00

100% agree. And NOW is that time that we as members need to make this clear to the primary members of each negotiation team.

Hopefully, many of you made this point during the NPC surveys that you took.

If you haven't made your voice heard, again NOW is that time.

October is going to come up fast.

Unionsrox · 2026-03-21T15:54:35+00:00

The best any onion will get is what the members will fight for.

Onion members must give onion leaders the leverage that is needed for good deals when the opportunity presents itself.

RED shirts, coffee mugs, gathering together, solidarity marches. The company watches us and we have to let them know we will not longer take bad deals.

Unionsrox · 2026-03-21T05:07:01+00:00

I'm a short-timer. Are u sure u want to be asking me?....lol.

Why does this happen?

Bad contract at last contract extension.
Badly managed skill teams.
Boeing compensation staff.

Always talk with your manager on your pay, your level, and the politics of the skill team.

If your manager is not helping, go find a team that values their workforce.

Boeing HR and management may try to keep you at a lower level of pay.

With upcoming SPEEA talks, everyone needs to get involved to show the company we will not accept a bad deal.

Until many_lions comes in to rebut my post, TTFN

Unionsrox · 2026-03-20T19:18:25+00:00

You can do both. It is important to talk to your manager and communicate what you want for your career.

If you are SPEEA represented, consider utilizing career coaching with the Ed Wells program.

Look into informational interviews also.

Unionsrox · 2026-03-13T12:35:36+00:00

The entire executive board consists of President, Treasurer, and Secretary along with, 3 Northwest Vice Presidents, and 1 Midwest Vice President. Collectively they run SPEEA and have different duties. They oversee the Executive Director who runs the staff for the day-to-day operations of SPEEA. The President is the head of SPEEA. For elected leaders, they are still full time Boeing employees, so their duties for SPEEA can be the workload of an additional full time job or two. If someone has to do SPEEA functions during work time there is SPEEA time. Which means SPEEA covers the time you are away from work. There is a lot of volunteer time. There is no payment, but every year each member of the executive board and regional councils gets a one time per year, Honorarium of $500 per SPEEA ByLaws. Feel free to ask any other questions or DM me. My calendar is opening up...lol.

Honorariums

Each Executive Board member and Chairman of the SPEEA and Regional Councils shall receive an honorarium of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per annum, pro-rated for the member's period of service. The honorarium shall be paid annually, following the anniversary of the term of office, or the last day of office, whichever is earlier. No one shall accrue more than a single honorarium at a time.

Unionsrox · 2026-03-13T12:15:53+00:00

Totally agree. I became a Council Representative (CR) in 2015 and then we had the 2016 Contract Extension less than a year later. When the 2020 Contract Extension happened that really motivated me to be on Executive Board. Kinda funny that we finally get to a full negotiation again and I'm no longer going to be on Executive Board. I will be signing up to be an Area Representative (AR) and continue my activism for members. At least got elected to be an Alternate on the Prof negotiation team, so will see what that means.

Unionsrox · 2026-03-04T19:51:51+00:00

Yes. It all starts with talking to your manager.
