The early retiree health insurance offer to SPEEA from Boeing management is absurd. In it, employees are offered a ‘non-contractual contract’, where the company can unilaterally change or cancel important benefits at any time. Who would buy a car from a dealer with a sales contract that allowed the dealer to take back the wheels and cancel the warranty at a whim? Would Boeing buy parts and supplies under such and arrangement? Would anyone? Would you?
