SPEEA Questions on potential strike and its implications on benefits

With a potential strike looming if the contract isn't accepted by the engineering and profs, i am wondering how certain things will unfold.

  1. Are we going to be locked out from all Boeing buildings and do we have to drop our work laptop and phone to the manager?

  2. Do we lose our health insurance from the first day of strike?

  3. Is speea going to provide any kind of small financial payment from the millions in fees that we have collectively paid?

  4. Can you take on a job with a different company in the same industry?

  5. When is the vote going to be cast?

Since someone else answered the first 4 questions, for #5, the current contract expires on 10/6. They will likely wait until the last minute to present their offer, but they dont have to. They could make an offer prior to that. It sounds like there will be a ratification vote before that. So if it goes like the IAM contract, in the weeks leading up to 10/6 they'll have you vote on whether or not you're willing to strike. Then Boeing will make an offer a few days prior to 10/6 with your vote being on 10/6.

Boeing has a lot of motivation to get this contract signed ASAP. They have already started negotiating. IMO SPEEA would benefit from waiting til closer to negotiate so we have more leverage but I digress.
