Managers in Washington accused of hounding staff to keep quiet over quality concerns, as employees point to union-busting

Boeing’s largest factory is in “panic mode”, according to workers and union officials, with managers accused of hounding staff to keep quiet over quality concerns.

The US plane maker has been grappling with a safety crisis sparked by a cabin panel blowout during a flight in January, and intense scrutiny of its production line as regulators launched a string of investigations.

Its site at Everett, Washington – hailed as the world’s biggest manufacturing building – is at the heart of Boeing’s operation, responsible for building planes like the 747 and 767, and fixing the 787 Dreamliner.

    until companies aren’t incentivized by capitalist greed this will continue happening

    You’d think that it would be in the best interest of capitalism to keep everybody alive to maximize profits through the course of each victim’s life, but the shortsighted goal of lining a couple pockets and avoiding disruption was chosen. A predictably lazy approach… and why we will deal with asbestos, cigarettes, pesticide, pfas damages for years to come

    Would love to see some corporate heads roll, fuck these disgusting pieces of shit. I hope their business practices and families suffer for years to come! May the winds of climate change wipe out their children before them, in their lifetime.
