Boeing hit with 32 whistleblower claims, as dead worker’s case reviewed


US workplace safety regulator received the complaints of employer retaliation over three-year period.

Boeing has been the subject of 32 whistleblower complaints with the workplace safety regulator in the United States during the past three years, newly obtained documents reveal, amid mounting scrutiny of standards at the beleaguered aircraft maker. In an email sent on March 26, OSHA’s chief of staff, Emily Hargrove, told a colleague that the agency’s public affairs team were “asking that we review the decision back in 2017 to dismiss the case”. The revelations come as the public testimony of a number of current and former Boeing employees is refocusing attention on the aircraft manufacturer’s allegedly hostile environment for whistleblowers and lax safety standards.
