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.
