Boeing engineers in Wichita, Kansas, will vote Nov. 30 on a new four-year contract offer, the union said Tuesday. The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace has recommended members reject the proposed contract offer, saying it would drive wages below market averages and give 800 Wichita engineers represented by the unit lower wages than those provided to their colleagues near Seattle. Boeing has called the contract "region-leading."
