This is an extended version of an interview with a worker at Boeing South
Carolina, which assembles the 787 "Dreamliner". He contacted us in 2014 with
concerns about the quality of work in the plant and drug abuse among the
workforce. At his request, we are not revealing his identity.
Drug abuse
I've seen a lot of things that should not go on at an airplane plant…
people talking about doing drugs, looking for drugs, specifically marijuana,
methamphetamine, cocaine.
I have seen Oxycontin and pharmaceuticals passed between workers. I have
never seen marijuana or anything like that passed. I know that there are
several people that do sell drugs inside the plant. I've never actually seen
a transaction take place but I have seen pharmaceuticals passed from
basically hand to mouth between co-workers.
I've seen people who I presume to be on meth, because they are just out of
their mind, eyes wide open.
I know several of my friends that have worked there for the entire time they
've been here - eight years - that have not been tested one time. And with
it being random they should have come up at least once. Between all the
people I know, one person should have come up at least once.
I have never seen anybody or heard of anybody having to take a random urine
analysis… random drugs tests just don’t happen.
Boeing gave Al Jazeera the following statement: "Boeing South Carolina
follows the Boeing enterprise-wide Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace Program
policy. Drug testing of employees is done in accordance with Boeing policy
and procedures across all facilities in accordance with applicable laws.
Boeing thoroughly investigates any employee reports of policy deviation, and
appropriate corrective action is taken if needed."
Alerting managers
I talked to my manager and he asked me why do I think we have so many NCs on
the plane, which are non-conformances, which are errors, which are repaired
. But why do I think we have so many NCs?
“
I hope that this will bring light to the situation, that this is a big
enough platform, that people will take it seriously because this is a very
serious problem.”

And I told him, "People are whacked out of their f***ing mind on… drugs."
And he looked at me floored and said "Do you really think so?" I said, "I
know so. I know for a fact."
He said, "Well how do you know?" and I went to explain to him, that I've
seen it, that it's all around us all the time, that I don't understand how
he can't see it. He looked puzzled, and that's the last I ever heard of it
and that’s the last time he ever asked me for my opinion.
It's possible [Boeing managers] don't know. But it's their job to know. When
you see things going wrong with the airplane, and huge mistakes happening,
there's no investigation into what happened. It's simple mistakes that
should never happen, that turn into thousands of dollars worth of mistakes,
because something as simple as hanging something backwards never should
happen.
One of the customers has said they will no longer accept planes from
Charleston due to quality issues. They will only accept final assembly done
in Everett, Washington.
Boeing notes: "No airplane orders have been cancelled as a result of where
they are built, nor has any customer stipulated where they want their
aircraft built whether that’s Everett or South Carolina. We have delivered
South Carolina-built airplanes from the Everett Delivery Center and have
delivered Everett-built airplanes from the South Carolina Delivery Center.
We will continue to enjoy this flexibility as production requirements
dictate. We can state no orders have been cancelled as a result of where
airplanes are built or delivered." |
