The family of the Boeing whistleblower who killed himself last year after he raised safety concerns about the airline’s factories has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company claiming he was subjected to “harassment, abuse and intimidation.”
John Barnett, a former Boeing quality manager, shot himself in the temple in his truck in the parking lot of a South Carolina hotel last March following days of grueling testimony for a bombshell lawsuit about the company’s production standards.
It followed Boeing allegedly subjecting him to a “campaign of harassment, abuse and intimidation intended to discourage, discredit and humiliate him until he would either give up or be discredited,” his family claimed in a wrongful death lawsuit filed Wednesday in US District Court in South Carolina.
