3 hours ago, on his Twitter account, Trump said:
"Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!"
because Jones called Trump out for lying about his (Trump) role in Carrier deal.
An hour later, Trump tweets this:
" If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana. Spend more time working-less time talking.
Reduce dues".

first time I knew that a union was responsible for making a company stay in America.

Carrier union boss gets threatening calls after Trump's tweets
The Carrier union boss who criticized Donald Trump is receiving threatening phone calls, he told MSNBC late Wednesday.
Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers local 1999, which represents workers at Indianapolis's Carrier manufacturing plant, said Trump "lied his ass off" about terms of a deal to keep jobs in the state.
After Trump blasted Jones in a tweet, Jones received calls from people threatening to come for him and asking what kind of car he drives, he told MSNBC, according to the Associated Press.
"Nothing that says they're gonna kill me, but, you know, you better keep your eye on your kids," Jones said.
