The Carrier workers have also discovered that other jobs in Indianapolis do not pay as well. The new Amazon plant only pays $15 an hour instead of the usual $20 at Carrier. Carol Bigbee, 59, earned $22 an hour.

“I think it will be extremely hard to find a job that pays $22 an hour,” she said. “You have to be really blessed to find a job that pays that kind of money.”

The correct date of the article is March 19th. Not all buggy whip manufacturing left America on March 30th, the day we’re having so much fun.

The Carrier workers were unionized.

And what kind of politicians did the union support with its members'dues? What kind of politicians did the union recommend that its members vote for? What kind of policies did the union support? Did the union support anything that would help Carrier?

Do I even need to ask?
