President-elect Donald Trump pledged to be “so presidential you will be bored” during the election, but he continues to keep Americans on their toes after again taking to Twitter to battle his most recent critic.

The union responded with their tweet, “I’m with Chuck because as an elected local leader, it’s his job to be honest with his members – same members who thought their jobs were saved”. Carrier is a division of United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX). Carrier actually made a decision to keep only about 800 jobs and to outsource about 550 to Mexico, said Jones, who suggested that the 1,100 number Trump mentioned when he announced the deal last week may have included 300 jobs that were never among those in line to leave the US. The Indianapolis plant only makes gas furnaces, although it has been frequently referred to as making air conditioners.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged that he was happy that the jobs were saved, but then dismissed the notion that this was particularly meaningful compared to what President Obama has achieved.
Trump had boasted that his intervention with Carrier persuaded the company to preserve more than 1,100 jobs in IN that were previously moving to Mexico. Yet that number obscured the fact that some 350 of those positions were research and development jobs that the company never meant to dispatch to Mexico, or that around 80 were non-union clerical and supervisory positions, according to the Post.
The worldwide president of the steelworkers union is defending the IN union leader who’s been trading barbs with Donald Trump over the president-elect’s deal to save jobs at a Carrier Corp. factory IN the state. When asked if he was joking, Biden said, “I’m not committing not to run”. An average factory worker in the United States earned $37.71 an hour in 2015, while Mexican factory workers earned an average of just $5.90 an hour. Both of these were needed and are needed to be done to all U.S. Industry to keep them in the U.S.
“Well, what we don’t want to do is for companies to say: It costs this much to manufacture overseas and sell it in the United States, and it costs this much in taxes and regulations and other burdens to manufacture here in the United States”, Pence said. We know what auto you drive.
“And they had a gentleman, worker, great guy, handsome guy, he was on, and it was like he didn’t even know they were leaving”. Output at USA factories is up 150% in last 40 years. USA companies have done the most offshoring despite having a broad range of cost alternatives in the US. And automation is a big reason why.
But even though the jobs aren’t going to Mexico.

A recent study by McKinsey & Co. said that 45% of the tasks that US workers are now paid to perform can be automated by existing technology.
