Jerry Calhoun Employees Quotations

I believe that our employees ought to be able to vote on the offer we've presented, ... I have faith and confidence in the employees of Boeing that they're going to speak their mind and they're going to express their wills.

We believe this move undermines the integrity of the collective bargaining process and denies IAM-represented employees the right to exercise their vote,

This offer enhances one of the best total compensation packages in our industry. It includes two substantial cash payments during the first year of the contract; an option to roll one of these payments into the Voluntary Investment Plan and receive a company match; and an incentive compensation program rewarding IAM-represented employees for their contributions to the company's success.

Throughout these negotiations, we've been hearing from employees and their union representatives that ... they would prefer that we spend available money on retirement programs, incentives and lump sum cash payments rather than offering wage increases. With this offer, we are responding to that input.
