Boeing | Employee breaks silence over alleged rampant employee mistreatment at embattled airplane manufacturer

A former Boeing employee has come forward with allegations of widespread mistreatment and pressure to compromise safety standards at the embattled airplane manufacturer's North Charleston plant.

Joseph Clayton, who worked as a technician at Boeing between 2013 and 2019, disclosed to the Daily Mail a culture of coercion, where technicians were reportedly constantly pressured to make quick fixes without documenting mistakes.

Clayton's account adds fuel to the fire ignited by the recent death of whistleblower John Barnett, who had been in the midst of a deposition in a lawsuit related to production issues surrounding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner at the same factory.
