July 21, 2008 - Proposed Team Leader Enhancements

The Team Leader program has helped create and maintain a team environment as well as coordinate operational issues. Boeing proposed that a few enhancements be made to this program:

  • Boeing proposed to increase the premium each Team Leader is paid beyond his or her base pay from $1.75 to $2.00 per hour.
  • Boeing listened to the IAM’s concerns about how Team Leaders are selected, and proposed a process that the union can use to appeal (1) the company’s decision to discontinue the assignment of any bargaining unit employee selected for a team leader position; (2) a team leader progress review; and (3) the duration of a temporary team leader assignment.

Team Leaders bring great value to Boeing’s ability to compete and become more productive.
