They were interviewing a union honcho on the radio today. WIBC, I think.
His claim is that it is really only 800 jobs. (Unions don’t consider management jobs as real jobs)
Obama is the patron saint for most union members.
Well still a good number of jobs. Let’s remember too the multiplier effects. Each of these carrier jobs supports other jobs in service businesses and in businesses which are suppliers of Carrier.
So these 1000 Carrier jobs saved may actually impact another 500+ jobs in other companies.
Can any of you imagine Obama getting involved in an issue such as this??? Trump is already making some impacts and he’s not even president yet.
Some CNN news lady with an insufferably condescending voice was whining this morning about how: (1)Trump probably gave Carrier tax breaks to stay in Indiana, so it was the taxpayers who were really footing the bill for a stunt to make him look good. Never mind she had no idea what, if anything was offered or threatened. (2) Pence was governor of Indiana, so why didn’t he do this before now (whatever it was), and (3) Trump didn’t consult the union. He completely shut the union out; he never bothered to ask their advice on how to properly protect the workers — the horror!
See the second link above. Details. Over 1000.
LOL! They never have. When times get hard in Detroit the “news” is always about the UAW guys. Never the Thousands of Contract workers who also lose thier jobs. This joke has gone on for over 50 years.
