WEU Negotiations 2009 - July 1, 2009

Spirit presents complicated offer - WEU team analyzing over weekend

 

Spirit AeroSystems presented its first, complete, offer on Thursday (July 2) to our Wichita Engineering Unit (WEU) Negotiation Team.


Unlike previous negotiations and company offers, this offer uses market benchmarks, variable performance measures and other calculations to determine wage adjustments. As such, our team must spend the weekend analyzing the information and the impact of a contract from this offer on the future of represented employees before making a recommendation to members. We understand the difficulty of waiting and appreciate your patience.


Provisions remain in place to extend the existing contract beyond the scheduled July 11 expiration.
The company’s offer and our team’s recommendation will be posted to the SPEEA website.

 

Negotiation Team members are also planning workplace meetings to present the company’s offer, discus the recommendation and answer questions. Details of member voting process will also be posted.

IFPTE President Greg Junemann to run for AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer

SEATTLE – IFPTE President Greg Junemann broke the news Saturday that he is seeking election to the position of AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer. The news came during Junemann’s closing remarks at the annual SPEEA Leadership Conference. This is a critical time for our nation, our economy and our labor movement -- a time of unprecedented transitions,” Junemann said.

 

Junemann will seek reelection as IFPTE president in August. The election of new AFL-CIO officers takes place during the federation’s quadrennial convention the week of September 14 in Pittsburgh.

 

If elected to the AFL-CIO post, Junemann will be the first from the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE). He would also become the first from a white collar union to hold a high level office in the AFL-CIO.

 

In 2005, Junemann was elected to the AFL-CIO Executive Council where he serves as Co-Chair of the Organizing Committee and also serves as a member of committees on: Training and Education, International Affairs, Political Policy, State and Local Organizations, and Public Affairs.

Employee Free Choice Act
The Employee Free Choice Act, supported by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, will enable working people to bargain for better benefits, wages and working conditions by restoring workers’ freedom to choose for themselves whether to join a union.

The Employee Free Choice Act will:

 
  • Remove current obstacles to employees who want a union
  • Guarantee workers are able to achieve a contract.
  • Allow employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation.
