Video:Carrier employees reaction to their layoff, jobs moving to Mexico.
The linked video shows the reaction of the Carrier workers to the news that their jobs are going to Mexico.
Additionally Cenk Uygur offers some insights: The company, United Tech did not have to do that - It made big profits. It got a lot of incentives from government. The government has leverage which it has not used. United has billions of Federal contracts. My personal view: I am appalled by the lack of grass roots reaction from people and the Dems in particular. Well, well, the sucking sound continues. :mad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3-s72NToTw |

BTW.... I lost a great job at GTE in 82 to Mexico. This has been going on for a long time. Barney |
