You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:02, 21 January 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), IFPTE Local 2001''' is a professional [[labor union]] representing more than 24,000 [[engineer]]s, technical workers and other professionals in the [[aerospace industry]]. SPEEA represents employees at The [[Boeing|Boeing Company]], [[Spirit AeroSystems]], [[BAE Systems]] and Triumph Composite Systems. Members work in [[Washington (state)|Washington]], [[Kansas]], [[Oregon]], [[Utah]], [[Texas]], [[California]], and [[Florida]].

SPEEA is governed by an elected Executive Board and Council, but daily operations are handled by a professional staff and Executive Director. Union headquarters are in Seattle, with [[branch office]]s and [[hiring hall|union hall]]s in [[Everett, Washington]] and [[Wichita, Kansas]].

== History ==
According to Richard Henning, SPEEA's co-founder and engineer, SPEEA's earliest beginnings were meetings at the Seattle YMCA in 1945 to frame its first constitution.  <ref>((Cite web|url = http://www.speea.org/publications/files/Archive_Spotlite/Spotlite_2015/Spotlite_2015_February.pdf|title = One of SPEEA's founders turn 100|date = February 2015|accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = ))</ref>

SPEEA was formed in 1946 by a group of Boeing engineers in [[Seattle]], Washington and is an affiliated local union of the [[International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers]] (IFPTE). On behalf of its members, SPEEA negotiates contracts with [[employer]]s; it also provides assistance with resolving workplace and benefit issues. SPEEA originally stood for Seattle Professional Engineering Employees Association.

In an interview in February 2015, the centenarian co-founder Richard Henning, who retired in 1979 as a Boeing Executive remarked,

“''It’s a smart idea to have an organization speak for an individual instead of one on one. In the old days, if you sat down to negotiate with the chief of engineering it was pretty difficult to express ideas. Whereas in a union, there was discussion to bring out points and that happened on a daily basis.''”<ref>((Cite web|url = http://www.speea.org/publications/files/Archive_Spotlite/Spotlite_2015/Spotlite_2015_February.pdf|title = One of SPEEA's founders turns 100|date = February 2015|accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = ))</ref>
