Holy crap Boeing!
Other misconduct by Boeing, according to POGO, includes “unauthorized possession of defense information,” gender discrimination, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, the False Claims Act and anti-trust laws, water pollution in California, contaminating thousands of homes in Colorado with radioactive waste from the Department of Energy’s Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, radioactive and toxic contamination near Los Angeles, over-billing and illegal hiring of government officials.

Is there anything that Boeing hasn’t done wrong? I don’t see why someone would be promoting them to companies in foreign nations.
Question on Boeing protest of Air Force deal
I see all these US Senators from both sides of the aisle coming out against the US Air Force deal. The deal basically gave 35 billion dollars to Northrop Grumman to build air tankers. Boeing was angry because they lost out. Also, the jobs to build the air tankers would be taken out of America under Northrop Grumman. While I see a corporation in Boeing and Congress up in arms about losing “American jobs”, I wonder if they would apply that same thinking to some of these trade deals out there like CAFTA and NAFTA?
