Boeing Co. managers retaliated against two SPEEA union members
who had been designated as representatives of the Federal Aviation
Administration, after the union members insisted the company
reevaluate prior engineering work on the 777 and 787 to account
for a new FAA advisory.
That’s according to the union, which on April 18
filed a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) complaint in order
to get access to a report Boeing filed with the FAA about the incident.
The report is needed for the union to successfully appeal actions
taken against one of the affected workers; the other has quit Boeing
over the way he was treated.
“Boeing can tell Congress and the media all it wants about how
‘retaliation is strictly prohibited,’” said SPEEA Director of
Strategic Development Rich Plunkett.
“But our union is fighting retaliation cases on a regular basis,
and in this specific case, Boeing is trying to hide information that
would shed light on what happened.”

Let’s Face It:
Boeing management is a den of {Septic Tank Scսm}.
They are in fact so evil, the dҽvil himself blushes at their depravity.

According to SPEEA, the two engineers involved in the complaint
got at odds with Boeing managers in 2022, when they insisted on
using a different set of assumptions in the analysis of the on-board computer networks on Boeing 777s and 787s, in order to comply
with the new FAA guidance.
Boeing managers ( Bean Counters), strongly objected, saying that
going back to run calculations using the new assumptions would
Cost Money and cause Production Delays.
But the engineers, working under ODA authority on behalf of the FAA,
held fast to their position that the re-work was necessary to comply
with the agency’s new guidance.
After nearly six months of debate, the two engineers, with backing
from the FAA, prevailed. Boeing re-did the required analysis.
