Excerpt:
In a move guaranteeing that 2,100 workers will be out of a job, two Indiana plants have plans to move operations to Mexico.
The companies, who make products for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), will begin layoffs within the next two years.
Carrier Corp. said it would shutter its Indianapolis plant employing 1,400 workers and move its manufacturing to Mexico. The plant's workers would be laid off over three years starting in 2017.
United Technologies Electronic Controls (UTEC) also announced Wednesday that it will move its Huntington manufacturing operations to a new plant in Mexico, costing the northeastern Indiana city 700 jobs by 2018. Those workers make microprocessor-based controls for the HVAC and refrigeration industries.
More ‘free trade’.
They get all our trade and jobs for ‘free’.
More jobs created by Free Trade.

It seems to me that these companies are slowly finding out that the rule that you get what you pay for still applies.
I wonder when UT will follow GE’s lead and bail out of CT.
I’m surprised there’s anything left here given Malloy and the rest of his ilk’s attacks on business.
No doubt Trump paid these companies to move so they could make his point for him.
I bet Cruznadians believe this hook, line and sinker.

Trump. Now.
That too.
2,100+ new Trump voters... Spread the word... we can take back our country - and make it great again.
AND make Mexico pay for the Wall...
I imagine productivity, as well as the quality of the products produced, will soon take a dramatic nosedive.
Also, make companies that outsource pay for the wall, too, If they like Mexico so much.
The cost of government is too high
The Giant Sucking Sound still being heard 21 years after NAFTA passage with no end in sight. Trade deficit with Mexico has grown from nothing to $60 billion plus.
Yep, opening new markets for US products and creating US jobs as promised.
And they’re promising more of the same with TPP.
Now what was/is the pure conservative position on these issues, all you pure conservative scholars?
