It's actually 2,100 jobs lost.
Hopefully the line gets drawn here.
This has made front page news on the newspapers in New York.
It also came out that they are closing one other facility in Indiana with 700 jobs lost there.
It was also revealed that they got $530,000 in taxpayer money for training employees.
'F--k you!' Indiana plant workers react to news that their 1,400 jobs are being sent to Mexico — WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
Carrier Heating and Cooling announced that it was transferring operations and 1,400 positions to Monterrey, earning a chorus of jeers and shouts during an announcement to workers soon to be unemployed.
“F--k you!” one man is heard yelling in a YouTube video shot while employees were told, “the best way to stay competitive and protect the business long term is to move production from our facility.”
"How long does it take for people to start tearing s--t up?" another voice is heard saying.
United Technologies Corp, which owns Carrier, will also move another plant run by subsidiary United Technologies Electronic Controls in Huntington, Indiana, will also move.
The departure will cost another 700 jobs.
Indiana state officials had given nearly $530,000 of taxpayer money in training grants to United Technologies through the Indiana Economic Development Corp., but told the Indianapolis Business Journal that they are now looking for ways to get that money back.
This is exactly what I'm talking about being the source of all our nations problems.
As jobs like this are exported, the quality of life here declines for EVERYONE.
It's why I buy a truck built in Indiana every 3 years even though I don't need one, and why I buy American most of the time.
