Carrier Corp. deal differs from common incentives in Indiana

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday warned that USA companies will face “consequences” for outsourcing jobs overseas, as he touted his early success in persuading an air conditioner maker to keep around 1,000 jobs in the United States rather than move them to Mexico.

President-elect Donald Trump says he has narrowed his choice for a Supreme Court nominee “down to probably three or four candidates”.

He called the chief executive of United Technologies Corp., Gregory Hayes, to negotiate after seeing a news segment that showed a Carrier worker who took him literally, he said. “Americans must ignore the pessimism and embrace the optimism that has always been the central ingredient of the American character”.

“I don’t know how an American company can go to Mexico and still fly the American flag. I have been a pretty good messenger”.

United Technologies, the parent company of air-conditioner maker Carrier, has been threatening to move more than 2,000 jobs from IN to Mexico.

Apparently under pressure from Trump, Carrier announced this week it had agreed to keep more than 1,000 jobs at the plant and at its headquarters, while still planning to move more than 1,000 other USA jobs to Mexico.

Rexnord operates a bearings factory near the Carrier plant in Indianapolis, where Trump on Thursday touted a deal to save hundreds of jobs in exchange for about $7 million in state tax breaks and grants.

The company still gets to lay off most of the targeted IN workers and replace them with much cheaper Mexican labor. But I don’t understand why anyone else would consider this a good deal – except, of course, the leadership team at United Technologies, which must have sore knuckles from all the fist-bumping. “It’s not going to happen”, the president-elect vowed. “Just one after the other”, Trump said to workers at the Indianapolis plant.

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

“I can not imagine there is a single company in this entire country that would relish moving into Mr Trump’s crosshairs”, he said on CNBC. “That’s why I voted for him”, he told Baldwin during “CNN Newsroom”. “I think it’s just the start of things to come”.

Months after the promise, and now with Trump set to assume duties in the country’s highest office, Cornett is as convinced as ever. “Now is the time to push for real profound change that restores the full promise of America for all of its people”.

The US loses about 300,000 manufacturing jobs to other countries a year.

Apparently under pressure from Trump, Carrier announced this week it had agreed to keep more than 1,000 jobs at the plant and at its headquarters, while still planning to move more than 1,000 other U.S.jobs to Mexico.

For the everyman, Winkler said, the Carrier deal signals hope for the Anderson worker.

Most research indicates that economic development incentives rarely change a firm’s behavior, according to Nathan Jensen, a professor at the University of Texas.

Democrats were left conflicted by Mr. Trump’s success almost two months before he takes office. Sanders wins Indiana’s Democratic presidential primary the following week.

Then he singled out a man in the audience who said it was his son who spoke out on the national news segment about Carrier and said he was certain that Trump would keep the jobs from leaving.

February 13: Trump criticizes Carrier’s decision on Twitter, saying it wouldn’t happen on his watch.

That’s led to widespread speculation that Trump leaned on United Technologies, a major supplier of jet engines to the Defense Department, threatening to pull some of its $5.6 billion in contracts with the federal government.

“And that should send a shock wave of fear through all workers across the country”.

If Mr. Sanders seemed like he hadn’t left the campaign trail, neither did Mr. Trump. He said at the time he would consider a fence in certain areas along the border.

Zering, the local union president at Rexnord, spent Wednesday at the plant, negotiating with company officials over a severance package for workers making about $26 an hour now.
