*Carrier Air Conditioner Workers' Rage Over Move to Mexico Caught on Video*, CNN Money, Feb. 13, 2016

Workers at the Carrier manufacturing plant in Indianapolis were caught on video booing and jeering after being told that the plant would be relocated to Monterrey, Mexico.

A YouTube video showed Chris Nelson, the company's president, delivering the news on Wednesday. The plant employs roughly 1,400 people.

Nelson said it was a strictly "business decision" that was made in order to "stay competitive and to protect the business in the long term".

At one point, the crowd became so boisterous that Nelson was forced to plead with the workers to get them to listen.

"I've got information that's important to share as part of the transition", Nelson can be heard saying.

..In the statement, Nelson said Carrier understands that the decision will greatly impact "employees, their families and the community" and will work to ease the transition. (continued)

1. "It's not that we hate you individually..."

"it's that we hate you collectively." I'd say it's pitchforks time.

2. that one guy said it all

"Yeah fuck you". I'm with him. Corporate bastards.

3. Just Keep Voting GOP & Stay Anti Union.

They keep voting GOP and hate unions and the federal government. Demi passed a bill against offshoring. GOP blocked it.

4. The corpoate stooge isn't even human

We have important information for you. We will build a better product, at lower cost and not pay US taxes. You and your families can starve. Have a nice day. If you ever get new emplyment and can afford our fine products, please keep us in mind. And be sure to recommend us to anyone you know who can afford our products, that will barely make it past warranty.

5. You got it all, the brutal truth and it just keeps coming. Thanks, WTO, NAFTA,

CAFTA, globalization and runaway corporate greed, enabled by a big money- corrupted political establishment.
Just wait till TPP kicks in, the complete Dystopian USA death knell.

[mikeysnot]

6. 3 words for Chris Nelson....

Fuck You Asshole.

[Red Oak]

7. Thanks for NAFTA Bill and Hillary!

[snort]

8. When do they start?

At what point do workers storm the stage? How long do they listen to this corporate robot before trying to destroy it?

9. if you do the math how many lives are affected per lost job ?

The answer is much higher than you want to know .

[appalachiablue]

12. Many, many lives impacted. Household of four, one income lost for example.

Also what about health ins., retirement and measly, shortened unemployment insurance if any now. Those households and families provide a tax base for the community and state, supporting many local govt. services- schools, roads, police, fire and emergency.

How many retail stores, medical providers, and businesses, from grocery stores to utility cos., internet, phone and cable providers and more will be effected adversely.

Why do I keep thinking of Germany when one in six people were unemployed after the Crash of 1929. And the result.

10. Executives to Lose US Citizenship for Sending Jobs to Other Countries

I think it's high time that we come up with a new law. Any corporate executive that decides to send jobs to another country for business reasons, is no longer allowed to live in this country. They have to follow the jobs that they've taken from American workers. Since they're traitors to their country they no longer deserve citizenship. Let's get rid of the traitorous bastards, they've been screwing the middle class since the 1970's. Judgement day has arrived....get the pitchforks out.

[Old Crow]

11. +100%. And welcome to DU! (N/T)

[appalachiablue]

13. Amen. Enough is enough is enough! Welcome.

Many already have 2nd, maybe 3rd homes out of the US for years and are prepared, but banning from re-entering the US permanently is certainly justified.

[Green Greenie]

14. A Pencey for your thought

Pence and the Republican legislature continue to attack every worker right they can and move the tax system ever more regressive to aid the wealthy and business. The people sacrifice and this is their reward.

15. Report, *TPP WOULD RAVAGE THE US ECONOMY

2 min. video segment, published Feb.10.

- Report: TPP Would Ravage The U.S. Economy -

A new study into the economic repercussions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has concluded that, as predicted, the deal will have a huge negative impact on the U.S. economy. America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, and Farron Cousins discuss this on Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV.

Hosts Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins emphasize drastic effects the TPP trade agreement will have on US jobs, beyond what NAFTA and CAFTA did combined. The US will then also lose more jobs due to the 'trickle down' effect, Cousins says.

Pap just returned from Asia for a month, where the TPP is the hottest topic because when it comes they will see a bunch of new jobs. In terms of US costs, projections for the TPP trade agreement are expected to cause the loss of more than half a million- 500,000 American jobs that will be offshored Pap says.

He also reminds that NAFTA projections were way off, not 200,000, but 700,000 US jobs left in the end. Pap asks what is Hillary's position on TPP.
