A union that represents Boeing employees says the company retaliated against two engineers who raised concerns about its 777 and 787 jets in 2022.

The planemaker gave “identical” negative evaluations to the workers who had been designated as representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration after they asked Boeing to re-evaluate engineering work on the widebody jets to account for a new FAA advisory, the SPEEA union said in a statement. The two engineers prevailed after almost six months of debate and Boeing re-did the analysis, the union said.
