EVERETT, SEPT. 24: Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) has launched a targeted survey to assess the current state of the aerospace supply chain amid labor discussions between Boeing and IAM District 751.
This initiative aims to collect key insights from businesses across the aerospace ecosystem to better understand operational challenges and inform strategic support programs. The confidential survey focuses on critical areas such as workforce dynamics, production capabilities, and financial stability.
“This survey is essential for understanding the immediate impacts on our aerospace supply chain,” says Wendy Poischbeg, Interim President & CEO of EASC. “By gathering data directly from the businesses affected, we can gauge how current disruptions are influencing operations, workforce needs, and production capacity. This insight will allow us to inform policymakers and resource partners, ensuring they can step in where support is most needed.”
EASC encourages participation from C-Suite executives, HR professionals, operations managers, and finance teams. The survey, accessible at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/aerosupplychain, takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The survey comes in response to the 33,000 Boeing machinists represented in the 751 union who went on strike over a week ago. The strike has halted production across Boeing, causing a loss of revenue. The union and Boeing are still in negotiations over a new contract as of Monday, Sept. 23.
