New Boeing whistleblower comes forward

 New Boeing whistleblower comes forward hoursbefore CEO’s Senate testimony


“Blumenthal expressed concern with what he described as “a culture that enables retaliation against those who do not submit to the bottom line” ahead of the hearing. “This is a culture that continues to prioritize profits, push limits, and disregard its workers.  A culture where those who speak up are silenced and sidelined while blame is pushed down to the factory floor,” Blumenthal in a statement.”

This hasn't gotten a lot of attention, but there was a quite serious incident earlier this year:

'I know it happens': Boeing chief admits the company has retaliated against whistleblowers

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/business/live-news/boeing-ceo-testify-senate

Boeing stock has been sliding since their aircraft discrepancies and claims of retaliation began. However, you can get a retaliation multiplier, when a for-profit contractor runs a National Laboratory for decades, without free market competition, and without fear of profit loss in real time. A cash cow indeed. Time for a change.
