He’s said “it’s not Presidential...” well, he’s not President, quite yet. Go Trump!

He’s not afraid of failing, I admire that; He puts himself out there and sets bold goals

According to United Steel Workers Union President Chuck Jones, the manufacturing company cited the wage difference as the reason they are moving. In Indianapolis, workers were making $25 per hour, plus benefits. The workers in Mexico will be making $2.50-$3 per hour, plus benefits.

This is the core issue. Trump can't fix this.

The union has to decide if it's more important to keep the jobs, or preserve the unreasonable cost of labor. They can't keep ramping up the cost of labor over and above cost of living, and remain competitive.

There are alternatives: increasing productivity faster than the cost of labor is a net win for both employer and employee. But, that requires compromise on work rules.

Here’s hoping Trump is telegraphing a done deal he just can’t announce yet. Hard for me to believe otherwise.

Move is not scheduled until April, 2017. By then he may have renegotiated trade putting Carrier back in a competitive position, leaving the playing field level or possibly in favor of US production incentivizing competitors to move back.

The unfortunate part of this story is that those are Union jobs he is trying to save. It’s probably the onerous Union demands that is driving Carrier to leave in the first place.

Hillary would have said "good riddance" to carrier saying that she got rid of another polluter to save "the environment".

Thank God we have Trump; so much better than the HILLDEBEAST!

Carrier is a division of United Technologies.

They better just only manufacture here as UT is a huge DoD MILITARY contractor.
