***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[daddy style]

What a cop out

But they are talking about cars in your favorite thread, you aren't upset? You didn't tell them to go in the car thread? You sure you aren't twelve? lolololol

 

[sfc415]

It's funny how far we've come. In 2012, Romney was looked at as a joke. Now it seems like he would've been an excellent alternative to Trump in 2016

 

[daddy style]

Chevys are pretty damn good in the Indycar series
Too bad Honda took 1 and 2 in the Indy 500
My brother in law was lit seeing his Honda Racing team win that race

There is a car thread for this discussion, take it there. You are derailing the Political Thread. Talk about Trump banning your family from coming here. Talk about Hillary bringing all the races together for a kumbaya moment, but do not talk about cars in the political thread.

 

[daddy style]

God damn he is ghoulish

Like lookin' in a mirror, ain't it?! Think he has to deal with injustice? Getting beat by Obama, right?

Carrier agrees to keep 'close to 1,000 jobs' in Indianapolis

Carrier Corp. is staying in Indianapolis after all.

Nearly nine months after announcing it would relocate its Indianapolis operations to Mexico, Carrier has reached an agreement with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump to keep nearly 1,000 jobs in the city. The air conditioning maker confirmed its plan on Twitter.

Carrier announced this year that it will be ramping down operations at the west-side facility over ...more

Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence are scheduled to appear in the city Thursday for a formal announcement, according to a transition official who requested anonymity. Another source, who is familiar with the plan, said state incentives are part of the deal.
Carrier in a statement said it is "pleased to have reached a deal ... to keep close to 1,000 jobs in Indy." The company's decision is perhaps the first major victory for Trump since he got elected president earlier in the month. Trump campaigned on keeping manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and promised he would convince Carrier to stay in the city — or punish the company if it refused.

Although the agreement will save the majority of Carrier's Indianapolis jobs, it isn't good news for all employees. The company has 1,400 workers at its west-side furnace plant, which means there could still be hundreds of layoffs in the coming months or years.

"If they're saying they're going to retain 1,000 jobs, that would mean 400 are going away," said Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, which represents Carrier workers.
Jones expressed cautious optimism about the deal, but said the union had not been briefed on it as of late Tuesday.
"We're trying to find out what that consists of," he said. "We haven't had any luck."
City officials also remained in the dark Tuesday. A spokeswoman for Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett had no comment.
Whatever the terms of the deal turn out to be, they will be better than the bleak exodus of jobs that Indianapolis had spent months preparing for.

Carrier in February announced that it would begin layoffs next year and shutter its Indianapolis factory in three waves through 2019 as part of a larger reorganization that also includes the closing of Huntington-based United Technologies Electronic Controls. The company did not say whether any additional jobs would be saved in Huntington.
Carrier had been planning to shift all of its Indianapolis jobs to Monterrey, Mexico, where workers would earn $3 an hour. The highest-paid Indianapolis employees make $26 an hour and can earn more than $70,000 a year with overtime.
It is unclear whether Carrier will seek salary concessions as part of its agreement to stay. The company can't unilaterally enforce pay cuts, Jones said.
Carrier already had taken steps toward relocating to Mexico. The company reached a severance agreement with workers, agreed to repay Indianapolis $1.2 million for past tax breaks and refunded $380,000 to the state for grants. Sources did not specify what type of incentive package Carrier has agreed to in order to stay in Indianapolis.

Beyond tax breaks, the company would have had several motivations to reach a deal with the Trump administration, said Mohan Tatikonda, an operations management professor for the Indiana University Kelley School of Business.
For one, Carrier's parent company, Connecticut-based United Technologies Corp., is a large government contractor. The company "would like to start off on the right foot" with a new presidential administration, Tatikonda said, particularly because the government plays a large role in its business.
In addition, he said, Carrier's image took a beating in recent months as Trump and other public officials assailed it for planning to send jobs to Mexico. The damage, which likely spread to Carrier's distributors, might have made any move to Mexico less attractive, Tatikonda said. Carrier has said it would save $65 million a year by relocating jobs.
Although the agreement with Carrier is a clear win for Trump and Pence, Tatikonda cautioned that it would not have broad implications for the manufacturing industry, which is still shedding jobs as factories become more efficient and companies find savings abroad. For instance, Rexnord Corp. is still planning to close another west-side Indianapolis plant early next year, costing the city 300 jobs.

"The Rexnord folks are likely complaining, 'What about us?'" Tatikonda said. "(An agreement with Carrier) doesn't get at the technological progress and cost-reduction imperative that reduces manufacturing employment. It's just a spot solution to keep some of Carrier's operations in Indianapolis for some time, but it doesn't affect the larger issue of manufacturing losses."
U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly echoed that point in a statement applauding the "welcome news" of Carrier's agreement.
"While this is good news, in Indiana alone, there are at least two other companies currently planning to move Hoosier jobs out of the country," said Donnelly, a Democrat. "We need to change our laws to encourage companies to grow here at home. I hope President-elect Trump will work with me toward this goal, so that companies will invest in the foundation of our economy: our workers and our communities.”
