Donald Trump blasted the Carrier union's president Wednesday after he said the president-elect "lied his ass off" about terms of the deal to keep Carrier manufacturing jobs in the United States.

"Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers," the president-elect tweeted Wednesday. "No wonder companies flee country!"

Union presidents represent union presidents and union bosses in general. They will never support Trump because they have an “arrangement” with the democrats, no matter what the rank and file workers think.

Unions have really gone downhill since they become a fully vested arm of the demonrat party over 70 years ago....

We have the same problem with mine at the national level.

If the local had made a public statement saying they would work with Trump and the company to keep all of the jobs here, it would happen. Instead, this “leader” is more concerned with dogma than results.

The union stooges don’t even count non union jobs as jobs. Hilarious.

I realize that Trump is great at playing the media. But at some point he's gotta let some of this stuff ride. Arguing with a union leader? Much larger fish to fry.

Next thing you know he'll be tweeting about a community organizer. ;-)

If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana. Spend more time working-less time talking. Reduce dues

I don’t get it. Isn’t it the job of the unions to protect the jobs of their workers? They should be shouting the praises of Trump.

Actually, it is brilliant because it puts everyone on notice. Look how the mfg. atmosphere has changed and he isn't even President, yet.

Union bosses pissed off over job creation.

There’s a formula for success.
