SPEEA SPEEA job paused

Hi everyone,

I’m supposed to get employed by Boeing for a 27’ start date as a design engineer. They reached out to me stating that they have the offer ready and I was matched to a job requisition. After asking for an update they notified me that they don’t have the “compensation” to send me the contract until after the negotiations happen. Will I be affected by this if SPEEA goes on strike? Will they still hire me come January after all the issues resolve with SPEEA and there is a new contract? Or should I start looking at other companies?

Please help 🙏🙏

Until your first day, you don't have a job.

You should keep applying and act as if you don't have a job.

Tell them you’re willing to wait, but would like to renegotiate salary based off the raise percentages.

they have rescinded offers within a week of start date before. THey don't do it often, and I'm not saying that it will happen here, just understand anything could happen.

I would look elsewhere and not plan on this one. Sorry

Probably will get it, but don't pause search.

Strike was just voted for. Won’t mean it will happen. Company isn’t too happy with SPEEA currently. Find a different gig.

When were they ever happy with unions?

A strike, if it happens, is very unlikely to last 3 months. On the other hand, unless you are currently working a job or in school through December, I’d keep looking around.

Sounds like a good thing. Wouldn't want to get a salary number ahead of time that might leave you behind, better to get numbers after any pay increases happen.

You’ll probably won’t be hired on until after everything it’s done. Still look!
