At this week’s Main Table negotiations, both the SPEEA Wichita Engineering Unit (WEU) Negotiations Team and the Spirit leadership team exchanged proposals on economics, including raise pools, overtime, and time off.

Given the back-and-forth nature of negotiations, details will not be released until the offer is ready for a vote.

While we have been able to achieve some agreement on non-economic issues, we remain far apart relative to wages and benefits.

“I am disappointed by management’s valuation of the engineering workforce presented in the economics package,” said Brennan Macklin, WEU negotiation team member, after hearing management’s response to our proposal.

Other Main Table topics this week, included:

    • Office environment issues – Senior leaders presented information focused on environmental issues and infrastructure needs.
    • Financial situation at Spirit – Presented from the comptroller’s perspective.
