About 140 SPEEA Council Reps from multiple states, officers and allies from IFPTE locals and other labor unions (shown above) came together for the annual SPEEA Council Convention and Leadership Conference.

The theme of this year’s conference was “Forging Stronger Relationships, Building a Brighter Future.”

At the convention on May 30, SPEEA Council Reps conducted union business and elected officers for new terms. At the leadership conference May 31, activists took part in training on topics such as grievance handling, organizing, labor law and legislative advocacy.

Special guest speakers included IFPTE President Matt Biggs and IFPTE Secretary-Treasurer Gay Henson along with IAM District 751 President Jon Holden, the keynote speaker at the conference.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ordered Boeing to post a ruling in favor of SPEEA over an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge.

SPEEA filed the ULP when Boeing delayed responding to a formal (Article 10) information request regarding questions about Boeing’s current policies and procedures regarding workplace health and safety. Boeing provided the information after SPEEA filed the ULP.

As a result of the NLRB ruling, Boeing is required to post or email the “Notice to Employees” throughout worksites in Washington, Oregon, California and Utah. The post also states Boeing will not “unreasonably delay” providing information “that is relevant and necessary.”

An Unfair Labor Practice is an action that violates the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has created an extensive listing of employer actions that it considers would unduly interfere with an individual employee's labor rights.
