Occurs on Tuesday this week.
Confused yet?
Main table negotiations start on Tuesday for the SPEEA contract. The negotiators need all of the support they can get. And Boeing needs to know that the membership is not complacent.
Yeah, I got all pissy on Friday and basically said to hell with everyone, but that was more because I felt like crap than I believed that bitching would do any good.
If we all took on that "I'm going to hold my breath until my face turns blue" attitude, nothing would ever get anywhere.
Hey, we ain't building toasters here, nor are we building Toyotas. We are building some of the most complex pieces of machinery on the face of the earth. We DESERVE to get premium wages. And benefits. How would the public feel about placing their lives in the hands of a bunch of pissed off Engineers and Technical people? Not a scenario that inspires a great deal of confidence. We make the best and most reliable aircraft in the world. a fact that I am very proud of.
Because there has been a great amount of turmoil in the leadership of SPEEA over the last couple of years, we need to show the Company that we are bargaining from a position of strength. So everyone wear the red shirt tomorrow.
Anyone not wearing the shirt has to buy donuts.

Looks like SPEEA negotiations have been delayed by a day at company request. And it looks like the company and IAM have hammered out an agreement to end their strike.
Michael: I saw on the news trailer this morning that they had reached a tentative deal. And that they had delayed the SPEEA negotiations for a day. Maybe the IAM has softened them up a little for us.
Oops. I missed it.
Sue: So how you gonna deliver those donuts?
