February 12, 2016
A new video shows hundreds of Indiana workers being told by a company representative that their jobs will be moved to Mexico.
Carrier Corp. announced this week that it will close down a plant in Indianapolis in favor of opening a facility in Mexico.


The move by the heating and cooling company will mean 1,400 of its employees will lose their jobs over the next three years.
The footage (above) of employees learning the news was posted on YouTube yesterday.


"The best way to stay competitive and protect the business long-term is to move production from our facility in Indianapolis to Monterrey, Mexico," a company spokesman is heard saying.


"This is strictly a business decision," he continued, as some of the workers expressed their anger.


Meantime, the Indy Star reports that another Indiana plant in Huntington, operated by United Technologies Electronic Controls, will also move to Mexico, eliminating 700 jobs by 2018.


Both companies are units of United Technologies Corp., based in Connecticut.

NAFTA has been very successful at destroying unions and the middle class .
There will be a point again when the poor will unite again .
We have not hit bottom yet .

Corporate greed at its finest. Stepping on the lower middle class worker to make a dime.

This may be slightly off topic but this video reminds me of all the press we're getting (well, underground press as the mainstream media seems to think it isn't important enough to report) about the TPP, this world seems going through a massive shift to benefit the ultra wealthy and keep everyone else suppressed and widening the gap between the rich and the poor by wiping out the middle class. Its sad but something is going to break along the line and it isn't going to be pretty.

This is the shit we deserve spending decades accepting crumbs from corporate tables. We remain poor uneducated subservient while the rich decide our fate. Only a matter of time before all blue collar jobs are moved overseas as we all sit on our thumbs screaming why!

It's not "going through a massive shift". The world has been set up so the "rich" maintain power and control. Watch the money masters and learn about the history of banking. Money is created out of thin air as nothing but binary 1 and 0s, that people kill other people for.

I haven't heard of that, what happened in Oregon?

Search the oregon Standoff. A group of armed citizens took a stand against the federal government, protesting what they believed was unfair charges against a farmer who did a controlled burn on his land, which ended up burning some federal wildlife land. Seems they made an example of the armed us citizens leaders by killing one of them during a roadside ambush and arresting I believe 25 others. The feds have shown an interest in the farmers land and many believe they intended on doing whatever it takes to get it. I'm sure there is alot more to the whole story but it is a good example of what can happen if you decide to go head to head with the federal government. We don't stand a chance in the big scheme of things. We get whatever crumbs the allow us to have. Best to keep your head low and stay off the radar.

Since the tariffs alot of the jobs in indiana have slowed down and decreased starting wages. Most of the jobs near south bend build RV's and box trucks . Lots of jobs here try to screw you as much as possible .

Let the mexican or outsourced people buy there shit. You tell two friends they tell two friends fuck those greedy fuckers. Car companies I believe started some of this. Fuck them too! It's a shame I'm starting to think that Toyota and Honda have a better car than the Us companies. To bad for those Indiana workers they are a hard working state.

[BearsFan]

Some of these companies want you to work 12hr days 7 days a week and drop your pay if you miss a single day . Then you're laid off from oct-march and they deny your unemployment and wonder why they have a high turn over rate . These rv companies are making 100k every hour and only want to pay the least amount.

A company here had ads for hiring they got a full crew and the last guy they laid off Had seniority. He burnt that bitch down to the ground at 330pm after everyone left . Nothing was salvaged all the tools rvs everything gone . American companies treat employees like dogs. If you look at other countries when you're fired you get a severance package of 2weeks to 4 months and health insurance. In America you may get unemployment

Hell i hada job making bulletproof doors for army vehicles 6 days a week 14hr days . The boss didnt like me took away my fan ( i was running a laser to cut thick metal . It gets very hot ) it was summer time heat wave. I stuck it out and ended up getting fired 3 days later for complaining i didnt have a fan

I seem to recall a guy bragging that he saved a bunch of Carrier jobs from going to Mexico.

The Mexican minimum wage is about $5/day and border areas under $10/day. Mexican work schedules are 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. I don’t believe they have any kind of “benefits”? Health insurance is a sort of socialized model with options. We pay about $75usd/year for it. Medicine is cheap and NOT subsidized. There is no government welfare programs aside from a WIC type thing. No Social Security (as in pension for elders), no unemployment insurance.
In Mexico you either work or you don’t eat or get a place to live.

Is this a good thing? I don’t think so, but sitting around blaming others for your woes is tantamount to wishing, as in “wish in one hand and shit in the other...”.

I watched Ohio implode in the ‘70s because of unions (interestingly, the Spanish word for union is “sindicato”). Ohio was a massive force in many industries, but the insane costs of doing business, paying out and protection of dead weight employees became onerous. My family moved to Texas because that’s where these same businesses could run unencumbered. “Willfull employment” and “right to work” made Texas the place to be.
Same thing happening again, except now it’s Mexico.
