I just remember several yrs ago the state of Washington gave Boeing another nice tax reduction/exemption/etc on the backs of all the other working, paying stiffs in the state, not making Boeing wages....

of course as soon as that was settled, the Boeing workers got at least $5000 bonuses...

”The Boeing Company has filed 94 labor condition applications for H1B visa and 4 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2017 to 2019. The Boeing Company was ranked 3178 among all visa sponsors.

My bad. Boeing is doing even worse by using H-1B subcontracting firms to hide what they are doing and making unsafe aircraft by doing so:

“The Max software — plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S. regulators this week revealed a new flaw — was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs.

Increasingly, the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace — notably India.

In offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Ltd. occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max.”
