UTC is the parent of Sikorsky Helicopters and Pratt & Whitney jet engines.
Want to keep those contracts? Here’s what you’re going to do.
I would expect to see the same treatment for GE.

The agreement reportedly includes $7 million in state tax breaks over ten years offered by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, a quasi-public entity that doesn't require legislative approval...
Wow! UTC blinked for 7 hundred thousand a year in tax breaks and the threat of losing some govt. contracts.
The art of the deal prevails. 7 hundred to a multi-billion dollar company is pretty cheap.

Not tax “breaks”...It’s tax “relief”...
Rush explained the difference today...

And if that was a bargaining chip, I could care less.
Whatever it takes to keep jobs here. When we lose manufacturing jobs, we lose the multiplier effect in those communities and that means more dependency, more social costs, and more opportunities for bad liberal ideas to thrive.

It basically works out to $700/year per job retained. If the jobs pay $50K per year, they would bring in over $1,600 in state tax revenues. State of Indiana still comes out ahead.

Sikorsky was sold to Lockheed Martin.
Nevertheless, UTC Aerospace Systems and other divisions (like P&W) are heavily vested as defense contractors. So yeah, I'm sure Mr. Trump leveraged the government's position of influence to help them make their decision.
Art of the Deal, baby!!

Companies like Carrier need to keep in mind the boycott factor. Trump should publicize any future moves like this and let the citizenry exercise its disapproval by boycotts and threats thereof. Bad publicity for Carrier, and other companies would be well advised to sit up and take notice

Trump needs to give companies a 50% take break on each companies salary to employees up to $100K. That will make companies want to hire employees in the us. Don’t count foreign employees or American employees working abroad.

Last I knew that Sikorsky was a UTC unit. But in looking further you’re right it was sold to Lockheed Martin.
