INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Chuck Jones, president of the union representing Carrier workers, received a call from Bernie Sanders late Thursday afternoon after the union leader was called out by President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday night.
Trump tweeted “Chuck Jones, who is President of United Steelworkers 1999, has done a terrible job representing workers. No wonder companies flee country!”
He continued, “If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana. Spend more time working-less time talking. Reduce dues.”
FOX59 was with Jones when he spoke with Sanders, whom Jones said he supported during the election. During the call, the Vermont senator vowed to fight and hold the President-elect to his promises of stopping corporations from moving jobs out of the country.
Sanders tweeted after speaking with Jones, stating "Mr. Trump should not be attacking strong and effective union leaders like Chuck Jones."
Jones said he received threats after running afoul of Trump, who criticized Jones' job of representing union workers.
