Carrier Begins Job Cuts at Indiana Factory Championed by Trump

Carrier Corp. is beginning job cuts at the Indianapolis factory that became a rallying cry for President Donald Trump because of the company’s plans to shift work to Mexico.

About 300 employees will leave this week as part of a previously announced plan to relocate production of fan coils, Carrier said in a statement Wednesday. A total of 600 jobs will be eliminated during the next few months, the unit of United Technologies Corp. said.

Carrier said it continues to honor a commitment to employ about 1,100 at the gas-furnace plant. The manufacturer agreed late last year to halt plans to send the jobs abroad after a firestorm of criticism from Trump. The move garnered national notice during the presidential campaign after a worker’s mobile-phone video of the announcement to employees took off on social media.

 

The employees who lose their jobs will receive a one-time payment, severance pay and six months of medical insurance, Carrier said. More than 30 will pursue educational degrees under a company program.

United Technologies also makes http://iqd.me/l/11 & Whitney jet engines and Otis elevators.

True true.....just trying to look at it from the perspective of one of the 600 out of work.  Technology, robotics, etc. is slowly but surely putting the factory line worker out to pasture.  Soon we'll no longer be blue collar peeps building things.....we'll be blue-ish collar nerds building robots to build things.  :huh:

 

GO RV, then BV
