Trump launches ‘thank you’ tour Thursday in Ohio

He’s the man Donald Trump credits with spearheading an effort to save more than 1,000 jobs at an IN plant, and Will Cornett is returning the favor by calling the President-elect his hero.

That question was answered Thursday as the president-elect flew to Indianapolis Thursday to take a victory lap about the company’s decision to no longer move a plant to Mexico.

Trump made keeping jobs in the United States one of the main issues of his election campaign and frequently pilloried Carrier for planning to move production to Mexico as he appealed to blue-collar voters in the Midwest. The visit was his first public appearance since his election November 8. I made it for everybody else.

Trump also defended intervening in the company’s decision-making. In fact, Trump would need to repeat his Carrier feat 5,379 times to make up for the net loss in manufacturing jobs in the last 18 years – and that’s including the jobs gained since 2010.

“And then they played my statement”.

Afterward, Trump announced on Twitter that he would “be going to IN on Thursday to make a major announcement concerning Carrier A.C. staying IN Indianapolis”.

Carrier, a unit of United Technologies Corp, still plans to move 600 jobs from the plant to Mexico, the Wall Street Journal said.

The Wall Street Journal reported that IN, whose governor, Mike Pence, is vice president-elect, will kick IN $7 million IN tax breaks over 10 years.

Carrier confirmed that IN offered the company $7 million IN incentives over multiple years, contingent on “employment, retention and investment”. Employees from the Huntington facility protested the Trump event with signs reading “What about our jobs in Huntington?”

Jeffery Blackford is a Carrier worker who gets to keep his job.

His election gave Trump considerable leverage. “You’re talking here about a company that is trying to be competitive and also wants to keep their business with the government”.

Being more friendly to businesses is part of incoming administration’s strategy to keep them on US soil, Trump said.

But experts say the state incentives are more likely window dressing.

Those workers and their union have little information ahead of Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s Thursday afternoon visit to the factory.

Trump, who made keeping manufacturing jobs in the USA a central part of his campaign, also promised to do “great things for business”.

Donald Trump’s transition team says the incoming president will meet on Friday with North Dakota Sen.

It’s an early win for the president-elect, who campaigned promising to keep manufacturing jobs here in the U.S. Instead of keeping the factory open, he negotiated in the spring for the company to pay back about $1.5 million in city and state incentives. How’s that for standing up to corporate greed?

Nationwide, the Carrier subdivision of United Technologies has received at least $6.7 million in federal & state subsidies since 2004, on top of $45.5 million in federal loans from the Export-Import Bank of the U.S.

Greg Hayes, chief executive of United Technologies Corp., wasn’t there to see Mr. Trump.
