President Trump’s pledged to stop American Companies, who enjoy everything our nation has to offer but hate Its people, from moving jobs overseas. It was an issue which was paramount to his campaign and an issue that’s vital to blue-collar workers and the middle class who were the ones who got the president elected.
But the President seems to have forgotten one thing most of us Americans have known for decades now, you can never trust a corporation to stand by its word.
Most of you are already aware of the December 2016 Trump Carrier deal, which guaranteed that Carrier, who is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp, would continue to employ at least 1,069 people at its Indianapolis plant for the at least the next 10 years and invest 16 million dollars at the same plant in that time span. In exchange for up to $7 million in Government incentives which President Trump and Vice President Mike Pense had negotiated to give them.
But sadly it seems like today things have changed. Although then President-elect Trump threatened the Carrier Corporation with a 35% tariff on its products if it outsourced its manufacturing to Mexico. Carrier has betrayed both the President and the Vice President and still plans to send the jobs to Monterrey, Mexico, on schedule.
UPROXX Reports:
Donald Trump and Mike Pence spent a lot of time last year talking up their amazing deals with Carrier to keep over 1,000 jobs at an Indiana plant in the United States. The president also took credit for a deal that would keep Ford from moving Focus production to Mexico. The bad news is that Ford is now going to start manufacturing the Focus in China and a good chunk of those Carrier jobs will end up being replaced by automation with other layoffs beginning later this year. As CNBC puts it, the deals are not living up to the hype.
Carrier is about to cut 600 manufacturing jobs, the same jobs that were at the center of many campaign promises made by the president. That might surprise Trump supporters who felt he was starting off his presidency strong, brokering a big deal for the American people before he was even in office. But those with closer ties to the Carrier plant tried to warn that the deal wasn’t all it was chalked up to be. Union leaders tried to explain back in December that Trump’s boasts didn’t add up—literally. “Trump and Pence, they pulled a dog and pony show on the numbers,” said United Steelworkers 1999 president Chuck Jones. “For whatever reason, [Trump] lied his a– off.”
A Carrier spokesperson confirmed that 350 of those jobs were engineering and technical positions that were never at risk for going overseas or across the border to Mexico. Only 730 of the 1,069 jobs included in the 10 year Indianapolis Carrier deal were in manufacturing, which involved state incentives of $7 million in subsidies. Carrier itself invested $16 million in the facility, but as United Technologies CEO Greg Hayes told CNBC, much of that money was going to automating its manufacturing processes — something that was hinted at back in December. Six months later, 338 jobs will be cut starting July 20 and another 290 will be terminated close to a year after Trump’s famous first deal as president-elect, which is also three days before Christmas.
