[Y-Body]

Link to article (http://www.syracuse.com/business-news/index.ssf/2016/02/carrier_and_sister_company_to_ship_2100_jobs_from_indiana_to_mexico.html)Carrier Corp. and a sister company plan to close manufacturing plants in Indiana and move their 2,100 jobs Mexico, where the air conditioning makers can take advantage of cheaper labor.

The move comes as Carrier is cutting jobs at its research and development center in the Syracuse suburb of DeWitt.

Carrier said it will close its Indianapolis factory and move 1,400 jobs to Mexico beginning in 2017 and continuing through 2019 ...

United Technologies Electronic Controls, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning manufacturer that, like Carrier, is also owned by Hartford, Conn.-based United Technologies Corp., announced it will move from Huntington, Ind., to a new plant in Mexico. The move will cost the northeastern Indiana city 700 jobs by 2018 ...

One in seven Mexican workers earn the average minimum wage of 65.58 pesos ($5.10) a day or less. U. S. workers earn an average of $58.00 a day.

Even further about WTF these NWO types have on their minds.....20 Tril in debt, and no one making any $$$ so can't pay taxes.....

while the cost of living in Mexico is near zero compared to here, HELL our tourists pay their way.....there is no cost of housing, only thing they need is a/c but not even used to it anyway.....stamp out 5-7 kids per couple, and so labor is cheap.....and same for the drug cartels, while we destroy ourselves with the damn drugs.....

ALL of it comes straight out of Wash DC......ALL of it!!!!!

Calm down. It's okay. Once we make college free and hand out more and more stuff, it will make things better.

I know quite a few people at that plant, mostly the management/quality side. Haven't had a chance to talk to any of them since I saw this though.

Hate to hear it.

companies don't care about their employees, they only care about making money for the management and owners.

once you accept that, everything else is a lot clearer.

Two time Perot voter here. Remember when he was all upset and had the charts and graphs when the US was only $ 4T in debt? Ah, nostalgia.

I still believe ole Billary was behind the Perot smear/nuetralize dealy-o. I have no proof at all than just the standard, "Do anything to get what I want" Clinton way.
