Carrier Air Conditioning announced this week it’s shipping 1,400 jobs to Mexico, and the reaction of a room full of employees when they learned the news was caught on camera.

The crowd immediately erupts in shouts and boos. “That’s why you brought all those motherfuckers here!” one man shouts.

“Listen, we’ve got, I’ve got information that’s important to share as a part of transition,” the speaker continues. “If we could go ahead, if you don’t want to hear it other people do, so let’s quiet down. Thank you very much.”

“We also intend to relocate the distribution center from Indianapolis as well,” he continued. “Relocating our operations to Monterrey will allow us to maintain high levels of product quality –”

“Why would we care?” a man interjects.

“At competitive prices, and continue to serve the extremely price sensitive market place,” the speaker says, as people are heard yelling and exclaiming in the background. “I want to be clear, this is a strictly business decision.”

At that many laugh and continue to boo the speaker. “Once again, let’s please get, more information to share,” he says. “And by no means reflects the performance of this facility or any individual within it.”

The transition will not begin until mid-2017 and will take place over three years. The speaker ensured the crowd they’ll discuss the plan with the employees’ union representatives.

“Through all the transition, we must remain committed to manufacturing the same high-quality products,” he says, to which someone yells loudly: “Fuck you!”

Look at that crowd of losers. Does anyone truly believe they're worth $23/hour and that a Mexican can't do the job as good or better for $23/day?

Carrier has been here forever. I have been inside numerous times and know several people that work there. I know I will get flamed for this but union plants are too damn expensive to run. People getting paid $30+ an hour to push brooms and drive forklifts and watch an assembly line. Not saying some in that plant do not deserve that wage and even more. But we keep losing these businesses to non-union workers in other countries. My 2 cents.

And so the American middle class continues to shrink... I'm sure this won't impact the bonuses of the executives though

greedy unions.  this is  also what you get when fools vote to make business owners pay more taxes.

who would they work for if it weren't for the business owners? they should pay the least amount of tax. they create jobs

but these greedy union people just don't get it

"Greedy union people" don't get it, but neither do most who post in this forum.  The USA is finished.  It's an 80% service based economy and manufacturing is gone, that's why it's failing.   It only gets worse from here... MUCH worse.  Social upheaval and food riots are right around the corner.  You'd better get prepared for it.

When unions are not willing to budge or relent then this is what happens and, arguably, should happen.

If the state comes in and saves these businesses you end up with the big problem with communist economies -- there is no incentive to actually run a business well!

It is a shame, but what's the whole story? Were the people willing to take wage cuts? Was the union leadership willing to compromise at all?

A big portion of these jobs had already moved to china, I used to work in the HVAC field and have visited the mega factory in China where Carrier manufactures.

Surprised there were any jobs at all left in the US :/

Are you going to work for less than a Mexican? Then you still have EPA. DNR, OSHA, etc. regulations here. Doesn't matter what these people would work for, it will still be too much.
Believe it or not a lot of jobs are going to Canada. Wages there can be higher, but with the national healthcare and tax incentives, still cheaper.

They probably always voted what the Union dictated espoused -- democrat I'd guess.

I wouldn't expect them to work for that much less, but it's more complex than that. A business incurs a lot of expense (more than $) to move from domestic to overseas so the workers almost assuredly would not "need" to drop their wages to developing nation standards. But nobody is arguing for this and certainly not what I intimated.

Well said. I agree, many cost factors to consider.

Unfortunately, it's a very difficult time for manufacturing in the USA

Hillary and the Republicans (except Ron and Rand Paul) supports jobs shipping to China and Mexico as she supports TPP trade deal.

Bernie STRONGLY opposes all trade agreements which ship any job overseas.

Some workers are damned if they do and damned if they don't. 

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/mgm-to-charge-for-valet-parking-use-contract-workers

MGM Valet parkers who didn't unionize are now being turned into contract workers by force.  The parkers at MGM properties that are union are getting a much better deal. 

Then you have carrier where they did unionize and the wages and rules got out of control.

Moral of the story is work hard and expect the worst.  Oh and boycott MGM and Carrier.

Yes. Having been to Mexico many times and seen the quality of their production, from many different industries, I can say that the Mexican products are not nearly as high quality as when they were made in the US.
Liar!!!!Filt!!!!

Yes. Electrolux made great refrigerators. Then they closed the Greenville, Mi. plant and moved it to Mexico. Now their product is crap. Ask any repair man, Electrolux is now creating jobs. For refrigerator repairmen.
