Former and current employees at a Boeing plant in the United States' South Carolina that produces the company's 787 Dreamliner jet have claimed that the factory has been plagued by shoddy production and weak oversight that have threatened to compromise safety.
The New York Times report is a result of of hundreds of pages of internal emails, corporate documents and federal records, as well as interviews with more than a dozen current and former employees of the North Charleston plant.
It comes as the company is dealing with the aftermath of two deadly crashes of its 737 Max aircraft which took place within a span of five months and killed 356 people in total. The crashes have led to the grounding of the aircraft globally for an indefinite period.
Joseph Clayton, a technician at the North Charleston plant, one of two facilities where the Dreamliner is built, said he routinely found debris dangerously close to wiring beneath cockpits.
"I've told my wife that I never plan to fly on it."
On several planes, John Barnett, a former quality manager who worked at Boeing for nearly three decades and retired in 2017, discovered clusters of metal slivers hanging over the wiring that commands the flight controls.
Debris found in planes "has cost Boeing at other plants", including their Everett, Washington, factory, where the company built the KC-46 tanker for the Air Force.

The Air Force is a credible source!
Is this plant union?
The unions have never stopped trying to organize there even resorting to lawsuits to force union membership. This smells of that.
+. Thanks.
