The New York Times had a piece describing the quality control issues that Boeing seems to be having at its plant in South Carolina. It would have been worth mentioning that Boeing moved operations from Seattle, where it has an experienced unionized workforce, to South Carolina to take advantage of lower-paid non-union labor. This could have something to do with its quality control problems.

Addendum

The NYT did a very good story last month on the South Carolina plant that pointed out the decision to go with a less experienced non-union workforce.
