Trump is seeking from the Carrier to preserve jobs in Indiana
President-elect Donald trump criticized on Wednesday, the Union leader who criticized trump's promise to preserve jobs for employees of the Carrier.
The President of the United Steelworkers Chuck Jones, was critical for the promise of a trump, to save 1,100 jobs at the plant in Indianapolis. But soon after Jones appeared on "Erin Burnett Out Front" on Wednesday evening, the President-elect was to blame Union leaders for inaction. "Chuck Jones, who is the President of the United Steelworkers since 1999, has done a horrible job representing the workers!" Trump wrote.
Elected Vice-President Mike Pence, who is also the Governor of Indiana, gave a very different description of the Union in March. He described meeting with Jones and called him "hard-working". Jones complained that trump did not meet his campaign promise to save 1,400 jobs. "You made a promise to save all these jobs, Jones said in an interview earlier Wednesday. "We expect that you will come back and save all the jobs."
Jones added that trump should also help the 350 workers at the plant in Indianapolis that is owned by another company, Rexnord, which is also planned to move to Mexico. "Trump said that no companies will be allowed to go to Mexico," said Jones. Jones failed to talk to trump, when the President-elect visited the Carrier last week.
In order to save a greater number of jobs, trump is counting on 300 administrative and engineering work at another facility in Indianapolis that will never run the risk of being sent to Mexico. Jones said many of the workers whose jobs can now be saved grateful to the Tramp, but some workers who are still afraid to lose their jobs angry.
