Carrier workers betrayed by Trump

Carrier workers facing layoffs feel betrayed by Trump

Source: CBS News

INDIANAPOLIS -- A promise made before Christmas is fizzling before the Fourth of July. 

In December, then-President-elect Trump told hundreds of workers at the Carrier manufacturing plant that he had worked out a deal to save their jobs. 

But it's not working out that way. A steady downpour today did little to wash away the fact that the jobs of 600 union employees are going south. 

"They're going to Monterrey, Mexico," said Robert James, president of the local union. Reynolds said he felt betrayed, since Mr. Trump told workers during his December visit to the plant that 1,100 jobs would be saved.

Don't blame Trump. I worked for carrier for 11 years, they moved that division from Syracuse back in 85. Back then they said they wanted it in Mexico. Carrier transicold went to Singapore, the are owned by UTC and they are assholes. When my furnace went. I told the HVAC company anyone but carrier. Gov. Como sr. Gave them 3 million for their compressor div to stay in Syracuse. They moved it in 3 years

So when the story was about jobs saved Trump wasn't responsible but when the story switches to jobs lost it becomes Trumps fault? Sounds like the Obama years and the RWW's...exactly the same except the shoe is on the other foot

trump being the biggest :news: 

Blow hard, yes and by far.  He contradicts himself in back to back sentences which makes it tough for me to call him a flip flopper sometimes. You just never know what the hell is going on in his head or where he stands.

From Dec 1 2016

Indiana state officials have agreed to give United Technologies Corp $7 million worth of tax breaks to encourage the company to keep at least 1,069 jobs at its Carrier unit in Indianapolis, Carrier and the state said on Thursday.

President-elect Donald Trump has claimed credit for keeping well-paid manufacturing jobs in the country, but the deal is less than a complete victory for the Republican who campaigned on “putting America first.”

In the election campaign, Trump vowed to impose hefty tariffs if Carrier did not reverse course on shifting jobs to Mexico. The deal means Carrier will still send an estimated 1,300 jobs there.
