So, Carrier just destroyed their brand. Forever.

1. RUUD moved jobs to Mexcio

Rheem continues with production shift to Mexico

Rheem officials have confirmed more production is being moved from Fort Smith to a plant in Mexico, but it is unclear how the move will change employment levels.

The transfer is part of a three-year plan the company announced in June 2011 to move some production and 250 jobs from Fort Smith to Mexico.

The company also announced in May it would cut 16 salaried jobs at its Fort Smith plant and a distribution center in Lewisville, Texas. A company official said at the time the move is not an indication the Fort Smith plant and its production is going away any time soon.

As of May, the company had 290 salaried and 900 hourly workers in Fort Smith, a reduction from the 300 salaried and 1,100 hourly as of June 2011.

The Rheem plant in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, produces air conditioners and heat pumps, and is also producing residential heating and cooling equipment once made in Fort Smith.

2. Forever for you. Not 99.9999% of people.

Only the tiniest of people boycott products because of politics. Only political junkies which are a tiny fraction of the American people.

Im glad to see they are still made in the US. I have a carrier now, and I would buy one tommorow if mine broke.

8. United Technologies is the parent company

and is a big defense contractor. I heard Robert Reich last night mention that the Carrier deal giving a PR boost to TheRump could help United Technologies in future defense contract negotiations as well as help them to repatriate at low tax rates the big bucks they have sitting overseas.
