Boeing’s 787 “Dreamliner” is manufactured far from the company’s Seattle facility, in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.

The MRSA cage was a special concern of John “Swampy” Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower who is alleged to have killed himself in March
