Trump to Announce Carrier Plant Will Keep Jobs in U.S.
NYTimes/2016/11/29/ ^

Posted on 11/29/2016 4:47:20 PM PST by springwater13

From the earliest days of his campaign, Donald J. Trump made keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States his signature economic issue, and the decision by Carrier, the big air-conditioner company, to move 2,000 of them from Indiana to Mexico was a tailor-made talking point for him on the stump.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump and Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor and the vice-president elect, plan to appear at Carrier’s Indianapolis plant to announce they’ve struck a deal with the company to keep a majority of the jobs in the state, according to officials with the transition team as well as Carrier.

Mr. Trump will be hard-pressed to alter the economic forces that have hammered the Rust Belt for decades, but forcing Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies, to reverse course is a powerful tactical strike that will rally his base even before he takes office.

In exchange for keeping the factory running in Indianapolis, Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence are expected to reiterate their campaign pledges to be friendlier to business by easing regulations and overhauling the corporate tax code. In addition, Mr. Trump is expected to tone down his rhetoric threatening 35 percent tariffs on companies like Carrier that shift production south of the border.

Friends had an entire new forced air/HVAC system installed in September, $17,000 worth. They insisted no “Carrier”. They asked the salesperson if they’re getting a lot of that. Without hesitation he responded, “Yes”.

Please stop. There will be no change in anything. No electoral votes will change. No counts will change much if at all.

Trump is still president.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks for posting that.

“What about the other 1000 of the jobs,”

I think the original story was 1,400 jobs were leaving from that factory...don’t know about the rest. Even at 1,000 jobs, this probably represents $30 million a year in salaries to the area and 1,000 people off unemployment or welfare.

Carrier (and companies like them) needed a good swift kick in the pants.
I was coincidentally looking to make HVAC changes in my home and glad President Trump brought them to my attention.
Management better think carefully about decisions that could potentially hurt American workers.

Sometimes it’s no more complicated than asking.

My co-worker was asking me today about helping him look for a new furnace. Carrier was off the list. Tomorrow we will re-evaluate his options....

If your friend decides to go Carrier he needs to let them know he is doing so because of their decision to keep jobs in the US!!!
