Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Many thanks to our Sisters and Brothers who took time out of their day to come vote on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, authorizing a strike, if necessary. Once again, our members demonstrated tremendous support for our Local approving this necessary action. We received an outstanding 98.9% approval, giving your Bargaining Committee the “go-ahead.” We are well prepared and look forward to starting negotiations with Boeing Leadership on Tuesday, August 30, 2022. Again, thank you for your continued solidarity.
Also, our UAW International President, Ray Curry, would like to thank our members for an unforgettable visit to our factory on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. This visit was a first. No other UAW President has ever toured our facility. He was absolutely thrilled by the gathering of members who greeted and spoke with him throughout the day. Ray, along with the entire UAW Aerospace Committee offers Local 1069 their full support in our upcoming contract talks with The Boeing Company.
Lastly, we are still waiting for final details regarding the Aircraft Technician Training Opportunity from The Company. Once all information is finalized and received, we will pass this on to our members.
Reminders: Please realize that The Company has many cameras set-up throughout the interior and exterior of this facility. Be aware.
Also, assure that your address on file with The Boeing Company is corrected and updated. We will start sending out “Strike Duty” cards to your homes within the next few weeks.
Always Remain UAW Local 1069 Strong
Countdown to Contract: 50 Days
In Solidarity,
Michael Tolassi
President
UAW Local 1069
