= Carrier Closing Indianapolis Plant, Moving 1,400 Jobs To Mexico =

[Username1]

This is a major economic blow to Indianapolis' struggling manufacturing
sector. One of the City's largest employers, Carrier, announced it's closing its
manufacturing facility on Indianapolis' west side, eliminating 1,400 jobs. The
layoffs will begin in 2017 and be spread over three years according to the
Indianapolis Star. Carrier's president of HVAC systems, Chris Nelson, says
the move is part of the "continued migration of the HVAC industry to Mexico,
including our suppliers and competitors, and ongoing cost and pricing
pressures driven, in part, by new regulatory requirements." Let me guess
that more than a few of these workers at this Carrier plant who are about to
lose their jobs will be casting ballots for Donald Trump this year.

Carrier is also closing its facility in Huntington and moving it to Mexico,
putting another 700 Hoosiers out of work.


UPDATE: Also, Fishers gains two new corporate headquarters at Indianapolis'
expense. Stanley Security is moving 300 jobs to a new headquarters in
Fishers. Braden Business Systems is also relocating from Indianapolis to
Fishers and adding more jobs. Both the Indiana Economic Development
Corporation and Fishers are offering incentives to the companies to relocate.
So we're now providing incentives to poach businesses to relocate from one
city to another. Smart economic development practices, eh?

A Carrier or Bryant product is dead last on my want list. They're more expensive to buy and extremely expensive to repair. It not uncommon to have to spend $800 to $1000 to keep them going, every couple of years.
