The freedom to move within the Boeing Company without any time fulfilling restrictions has been an open invitation for some years now through the SSG Facilities Department. The SSG department of their own accord chose to waive the 12 month minimum, thus using this as a "sell point" throughout the interview and hiring process. We feel that it is an unfair practice of the Boeing Company to decide to enforce the 12 month retainer period without any prior notice and while still continuing to use this as an unwritten "bonus" in the interview processes. Several Boeing New Hire employees with this promise in mind have since taken their personal unpaid time and traveled to different Boeing sites to take the classes and testing required to advance and better themselves within the company. The Boeing Company has now taken that promise away without fair warning when many are just days away from completing these classes and tests. We believe that those Boeing employees who carried out the interview processes and the orientation, represent the Boeing Company as a whole and therefore Boeing should be held accountable for their word to allow those hired under this promise to have the agreed upon privilege. We understand that large companies have to make changes at times but request such changes be given in writing and with an agreed upon time limit to allow all employees hired under this promise the opportunity to take advantage of this "bonus".
