Moving the HQ to Chicago has apparently transformed the company.

Into something less.

Probably a good idea for them to consider hiring in merit.

New York Times? I’ll get concerned when this comes from a credible source.

Another article posted earlier this month said Boeing is planning to lay off large number of inspection personnel. This sound like it could be retaliation because of that.

In another major aerospace company we encountered many issues created by disgruntled workers particularly around contract negotiation time.

These included things like cut wires, missing or incompatible fasteners, surface contamination on areas requiring painting. etc. I know of at least two cases where we called the FBI to investigate the damage because the employees were intentionally messing with GFE military assets.

Shocking, isn’t it?

Maybe Geraldo can find something on Al Capone and a vault or something.

This sounds a lot like some of the few employees that they always find to sell out a company prior to a union vote.

Unions have been trying to organize the South Carolina Boeing plant for years. This sounds like scare mongering by pro union employees trying to imply that there are quality control issues because the plant is non-union.

That was exactly my first thought.

I wouldn't put it past them (the union) to hire people into the SC plant to cause these problems.

Unions are scum!

According to the people who are doing the shoddy work? What are they, children who need constant oversight?

That sort of retaliation could result in the deaths of 100s of people. Any employee who does that would be charged with murder.

Surely these “problems” are not surfacing at the request of union workers versus S. Carolina non-union workers.

Boeing has been building aircraft for some time, why do they have multiple programs that are so screwed up?

It sounds as if management is not up to the challenge.

Exactly so.

Sounds like the dreaded Six-Sigma has scored another victim, through forced changes to the manufacturing and quality systems that previously worked very well.

How is the diversity cancer at Boeing? Could be the cause

How about the Air Force? Air Force again halts KC-46 deliveries after more debris found

There are quality control issues. Unionizing may not solve it but being non-union sure didn't prevent it. This comes from bad management.
