Video Shows Exact Moment 1,400 Employees Learn They Are Losing Their Jobs to Mexico
Mediaite ^ | 2/12/16 | J.D. Durkin

Although the decision to inform a workforce of 1,400 employees that they'll soon be losing their jobs to Mexico is an admirable one from the standpoint of candor, it hardly makes for a good recipe for workplace morale.

A cell phone video taken at Carrier Air Conditioner in Indianapolis shows the exact moment that the plant and union workers were told that the company had decided to shift production south of the border.

"The best way to stay competitive and protect the business for longterm is to move production from our facility in Indianapolis to Monterrey, Mexico," says the company representative at the microphone.

Although the change would not take effect until 2017, the reactions from the gathered restless crowd were telling.

If I blindfolded you and dropped you in the middle of either Indianapolis or Columbus, I defy you to tell the difference.

His company is headquartered in NYC not Mexico City and he owns properties not factories. Many, many of them in the USA where he employs tens of thousands of people.

Yeah cause Trump doesnt have any foreign business interests.


Are you really that dense on sound business tenets? What an embarrassing post.

As you’ve been schooled....Trump did not take American jobs to other countries...in fact, he employed even MORE Americans, by STARTING locations overseas...more admin, accounting, purchasing support required.

This was a YUGE punch in the gut to these American workers, 1,400++ of them, who’ve now lost their jobs. And, all you have is your inaccurate and insensitive post about Trump’s business interests??

Jeeaaaazzz.

If being a conservative means I can justify this as good for American then I guess I am not really a conservative.

"U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly says the head of the Carrier Corporation could not point to one federal regulation which the company says was responsible for its decision to relocate facilities in Indianapolis and Huntington to Mexico."

If a Free Traitors™ tells you this had to do with taxes and regulation tell them to stuff it.

Yeah, let the America worker ‘Compete with $2 a day Asian or $20 a day Mexican labor. They could always live in cardboard boxes outside the plant, and eat scarps the bosses throw away.

So Carrier moved to Mexico instead of the South or mid-west? This is a suck ass move to exploit wetbacks in their own narco terrorist country.

I’m not sure I get your point.

But, is the idea that Trump would have federal regulations on who the company could hire and where?

Oh, so American business' should ONLY operate in America.

They don't have to but they should pay a heavy duty to import their product back into America.
