Boeing Reaches Tentative Deal With Engineers Union, Averting Strike Risk
BA sits 19% above its 52-week low of $176.77.
Summary
Boeing and SPEEA reached a tentative contract agreement covering ~17,000 engineers and technical workers. The deal includes a 10% wage increase on October 16, followed by 4% annual raises plus merit increases through 2030, along with changes to work-from-home and overtime policies. This follows a rejected offer three weeks ago and comes as the current contract expires October 6, with a strike possible if members vote it down. A ratified deal removes a major operational risk and supports Boeing's production ramp-up efforts amid a $24.6B quarterly revenue base. Watch for the union ratification vote before the October 6 deadline.
