Overturn the tanker contract!
Award the contract to experienced U.S. workers
Dear SPEEA Activists,
The recent Department of Defense decision to neglect the experienced aerospace workers of SPEEA and award a crucial U.S. Air Force contract to AEDS/Northrop is shocking and wrong.
Your help is needed to tell Congress to require the Department of Defense to reevaluate its decision. Awarding the contract for aerial refueling tankers to a foreign company is a grave mistake. Overlooking the experienced workforce at The Boeing Company and off-shoring U.S. tax dollars to an overseas company is a negative and dangerous precedent for our military to set.
U.S. Air Force tankers must be engineered, designed and built by the most experienced workers. Those workers are already at The Boeing Company and they can and do build the KC-767 aerial refueling tanker.
Get Active and send your message and questions to Congress!
