'We do feel forgotten': About 1,300 Carrier company employees will still lose their jobs, despite Trump's deal
Mark Abadi

While hundreds of Carrier employees are celebrating the news that their jobs are staying in Indiana, not everyone in the company's employment was spared.

Carrier's parent company, United Technologies, is still going forward with its plan to close its Huntington, Indiana, plant and outsource 700 jobs to Mexico, according to local media reports.

"His whole campaign was focused on Indy," Huntington plant employee Mike Harmon told ABC2. "I never heard one thing about the Huntington plant. So yeah, we do feel forgotten."

"Everybody's down. Tension's high. Everybody is on everybody," another employee told Indianapolis station WTHR.

In addition to the Huntington closure, 600 Carrier jobs will also still be moving to Mexico, The Wall Street Journal reported.

1. Wonder how many of them voted for yammering yam.

4. Oh 90% or so

If its like my co-workers anyway.

America is darwinism in action...to damn stupid to survive it seems like.

2. The only thing that came out of that "deal"....

Was the increased size of Trump's ego. That's it, all it was was a publicity stunt. He's still a loser, 1300 jobs got shipped to Mexico anyways. But it's a victory for him so that's all that matters.

5. You forget....

Carrier got millions in tax breaks, too.

[Initech]

7. Yup. This was all a publicity stunt for Trump's ego.

The rich get richer and we get screwed - that is the "art of the deal".

[workinclasszero]

9. Yes...so lets recap..

Dump wins because of fawning lapdog press, Big Corp, Carrier wins huge tax breaks and...

Workers take it in the shorts!

Get used to it Dump supporters you fucking fools!!

10. Heads up their asses!

I'd rather have my head in the sand then my head up my ass.

3. This indicates that all is going according to the Retrumplican plan

"Everybody's down. Tension's high. Everybody is on everybody," another employee told Indianapolis station WTHR.

His entire term is going to be just like ancient Rome. Gladiator against Gladiator for the entertainment and enrichment of the 0.001%

6. they need to tell that to the gd fascist media who's cheering herr dump on.

[mythology]

8. We need a media more willing to dig deep

Trump is really good at the photo op, but anything deeper there's just nothing good there.

[BSdetect]

11. Years of RW PR has them cowed.

Can't even see what's really happening.

[Vinca]

12. Cheer up. Trump might need another photo op for the next tour.

Maybe they'll get lucky . . . assuming Indiana taxpayer dollars are still available.

13. not forgotten, they were just not useful pawns in the republican game
