Pence, Trump and United Technologies Keep Carrier Jobs In Indiana

Without releasing the details of the arrangement, the Trump transition team has announced, and Carrier has confirmed, an agreement that would preserve in Indiana 1,000 of the jobs Carrier earlier proposed moving to Mexico. Reports indicate that the State of Indiana has offered new incentives to Carrier to keep 1,000 jobs in the state, and that Trump pressured Carrier’s parent United Technologies with threats of losing a significant portion of its $5.6 billion in annual defense contracting revenue if Carrier’s proposed move to Mexico was put into effect.
