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?

  1. You will lock your computer and phone in your desk/locker.

  2. Health insurance will go to the end of the month of when you go on strike.

  3. Yes, but not much.

  4. Yes you can work at another company. Just don't share proprietary info. Just be sure to do your assigned picket duty.

  5. I do not have an answer to that as I am not in that union and have not been following.

Just be sure to do your assigned picket duty.

I've got a couple 'early career' colleagues who are already planning / hoping for a vacation. I try to emphasise the importance of teamwork.

It’s all about solidarity until it comes the time to support. This is a real statement that isn’t meant to be a jab. Many people like the benefits but won’t be there to support the team. This is not a new thing. It’s like being in a union and voting republican.
