Dated: December 2, 2008 Society of Professional Engineering The Boeing Company Employees in Aerospace By By Dated Dated LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING NO. 6 RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT STABILIZATION, OUTSOURCING AND USE OF NON-BOEING LABOR (Engineering and Technical Units) The parties recognize that the foundation of a strong, competitive Company is in the stability and core capability of a Boeing direct engineering and technical workforce. The best assurance of employment stability is the continued development of the SPEEA- represented workforce balanced with the legitimate need for flexibility to successfully compete in a global market. The parties also agree that development opportunities such as lead roles, challenging technical assignments, and workforce development programs (knowledge transfer) for the Boeing workforce are key to retaining the capability to envision and implement future products. To ensure the statement of work commitments are met and to mitigate fluctuations in Boeing direct employment, assistance from a variety of technical resources may be necessary. Stability of the technical workforce remains a long term objective and will be accomplished through workforce development activities (e.g. Career Roadmaps, function specific training, and rotation programs), strategic staffing decisions, and continuous and active engagement of all employees. To xxxxxx our commitment for active engagement, the parties have agreed to enhance the employment stabilization process through the Joint Workforce Committee to discuss and provide relevant, necessary information on a variety of workforce-related subjects, such as skills management, the Performance Management process, employment forecasts, current and future business and its influence on staffing strategies, the job posting and transfer process, workforce education, and new skills development training related to future skills and competencies. The committee will meet no less than quarterly. The Company and Union also agree to the following: • The Joint Company/Union Partnership Leadership Committee, including the respective leaders of Engineering for all Major Organizations, agrees to meet not less than twice annually with the Joint Workforce Committee to focus on issues relating to current and future business and their influence on staffing strategies. • The Company approaches these meetings with the belief that it is in the best interest of our employees, Boeing, and the Union for our employees and the Union to be informed about the Company’s general business strategies regarding the use of Non-Boeing labor and subcontracting that may affect bargaining unit employees, and for the Company to hear and consider the ideas of our employees and the Union about the same. Accordingly, in these meetings, the Company will discuss issues as noted above, as well as related subjects of mutual interest with the Union. • These discussions will include a review of significant changes to subcontracting that the Company is considering that may affect bargaining unit employees. The Union will be given a reasonable opportunity to bring employees and staff (normally five or less in total, unless otherwise agreed) to these meetings to participate and to provide input during these discussions. In addition, it is the Company’s desire to continue this dialogue outside of these meetings as necessary. • The parties recognize that a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, the emergent or competition sensitive nature of a requirement, may limit or prevent these discussions. The Union recognizes that the Company will move forward with these subcontracting and related decisions about the use of Non- Boeing labor, and that the Company’s actions will be final and not be subject to Article 3. • With regard to the use of Non-Boeing Labor, the Company will respect and adhere to international labor standards, as expressed in The Boeing Company Code of Basic Working Conditions and Human Rights. In summary, the parties recommit to providing for a short term and long term balance between the Company's need to successfully compete in a global economy and employees' expectations of employment security. Dated: December 2, 2008 Society of Professional Engineering The Boeing Company Employees in Aerospace By By Dated Dated LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING NO. 7 RELATING TO PERFORMANCE REMEDIAL ACTION (Engineering and Technical Units) In an effort to assist all employees in reaching their full potential, a process has been adopted to identify and constructively address performance deficiencies and/or an insufficient level of skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary for current assignments. This program includes: • Notifying the employee of the performance deficiency through issuance of a Notice of Remedial Action form (XXXX). • Notifying the employee of the skills, knowledge and abilities necessary for current assignments. • Developing a clear and cogent program for the employee to correct the performance deficiency and/or acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, and abilities. Prior to issuance to the employee the proposed XXXX shall be forwarded to the appropriate Employee Relations focal for review with the Union. Such review will include a discussion about the performance criteria identified in the XXXX to be utilized by the Company in assessing the employee’s ability to satisfy the XXXX requirements and resolve the performance deficiencies. • Employees will be provided a minimum of 30 calendar days (excluding any paid holidays) to improve their performance and meet the requirements of the XXXX. • The manager or their designee will be available to participate in follow-up meetings with the employee, and the Union representative when requested and available, to provide status on progress. When the manager concludes that the employee has failed to achieve the minimally acceptable performance for their classification the manager will communicate that conclusion to the appropriate Employee Relations representative to jointly determine what action will be taken. Such action may include discharge or reclassification when appropriate. In accordance with the general objectives stated in Article 8, the Union and the Company agree that employees who are identified as having performance deficiencies or inability to acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, and abilities, may be terminated or, at the Company's option, may be declared surplus to the needs of the Company and placed on layoff in accordance with the layoff provisions of Article 8, irrespective of their retention rating. Employees laid off according to those provisions will retain all rights they may have under Article 3. Dated: December 2, 2008 Society of Professional Engineering The Boeing Company Employees in Aerospace By By Dated Dated LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING NO. 8 RELATING TO VOLUNTARY LAYOFFS (Engineering and Technical Units) The Company and the Union agree that, any provision in the parties' Collective Bargaining Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company will establish a pilot Voluntary Layoff with modified benefits process that shall be distinguished from the specific benefits provided for employees laid-off involuntarily and that will be applicable to SPEEA-represented employees. These benefits will consist of the following: • One week of pay for every two (2) years of service (up to a maximum 13 weeks of pay) to be paid as a single lump sum payable within a reasonable period of time following the later of the effective date of the layoff and the Company’s receipt of a valid release and waiver; • Medical and dental coverage for laid off employees and their dependents will continue until the employee is covered by any other group medical or dental plan either as an employee or as a dependent, but in no event beyond three months after the date of layoff. However, if the layoff occurs during or after a leave of absence, the maximum total period of continued coverage is thirty (30) months in the case of medical leave or twenty-four (24) months in the case of non-medical leave, measured from the end of the month in which the leave of absence began, irrespective of the date of termination. Required contributions, if any, must be paid during any period of such continuation of coverage. An employee classified in a job family and SMC that has been declared surplus may request that he or she be voluntarily laid off with modified layoff benefits if the request is approved by management subject to situational conditions and selection criteria as defined by the Company. The employee will be coded as a layoff and will be regarded for all Company purposes as a laid off employee (including for purposes of reporting to state employment security departments), entitled to receive layoff benefits provided under Article 21, except that the provisions of Article 21.3(a)(1) shall not apply and the provisions of Article 21.3(a)(2) shall apply only with respect to lump sum payments. The Union will be advised of all employees approved for voluntary layoff. Dated: December 2, 2008 Society of Professional Engineering The Boeing Company Employees in Aerospace By By Dated Dated LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING NO. 9 RELATING TO TEMPORARY RECALL (Engineering and Technical Units) The parties acknowledge that occasionally situations arise when short-term assignments require additional staffing.
