I have been retired from The Boeing Company since 1990, 22 years ago. The contract now being offered to the company’s Professional Engineering and Technical employees falls far short of the Boeing medical coverage I had back then. This contract has slipped in a clause that allows the company to cancel retiree medical insurance for employees who are retired prior to the contract being implemented. The benefit could end even if they are already enrolled in the early retiree medical plan. While Boeing hasn’t said it planned to cancel medical benefits for current retirees, they also refuse to put in writing that they won’t cancel medical coverage.
