It is alleged that the new Boeing plant in Charleston SC was purposely set up with local non-unionised labour and a minimum of personnel (and expertise) from Seattle in order that costs could be kept to a minimum. Fast-forward to mid 2020 and airlines start refusing deliveries from the plant on quality grounds. There have been with allegations of poor workmanship, internal damage to structures, build swarf & debris found inside assemblies and pressure on employees not to report safety violations.

Business is..... whatever you can get away with. When you allow companies to regulate their own safety - This is what you get.
