Today, we refined and submitted counter proposals on crucial Letters of Understanding (LOUs) covering topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), AOG assignments, Tech Prep students, Job Classifications, and the AMPP incentive program.
Throughout the day, we met with Boeing multiple times, exchanging proposals and engaging in discussions. The AMPP program, in particular, was a major focus. We're pushing hard to reshape this incentive plan to reflect fairness, transparency, higher payouts, and real value for our members. We aim to secure guaranteed minimum payouts, with the potential to earn more based on clear, achievable metrics.
For the first time in our history, IAM District 751 and District W2 is building proposals on Union engagement regarding changes to the Quality Management System. It is important that our members have a voice in the processes and procedures used to build and inspect the airplane. We won't be bystanders in decisions that impact our lives and livelihoods. We want a proactive role in the company's safety management system and quality controls. This isn't just about protecting what we have - it's about preserving the company for generations to follow.
This evening and on Sunday, your Union Negotiators are taking a short break to do some laundry, reconnect with family, and prepare additional proposals for Monday. Tomorrow marks the end of the first full week of round-the-clock bargaining, and while progress has been made, we still have a long way to go.
This is where your solidarity is crucial. Let Boeing know, loud and clear, what you stand for. Talk to your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and the community - Make sure they understand why we fight and what's at stake.
Our fight is just, our proposals are fair, and our unity remains unbreakable.
In Unity,
Your IAM District 751 and District W24 Negotiating Committee
