Those contractors don't have to be colocated though and only 1 plane is leaving. On top of that it's the 787 which isn't exactly in a good spot. Last I heard there was still an open question of how much work would be involved in getting them flying again.
787 != 737-MAX. The 787’s teething problems were ~8 years ago.
Well it seems that the South Carolina assembly plant didn't get the memo and is still experiencing issues:
