  • More than 200 workers were laid off today from the Carrier heating and air conditioning plant in Indiana that played a role in Pres. Trump’s campaign, sparking criticism from workers and labor activists that he broke his promise of stopping jobs from going overseas.
  • Trump and VP Pence, a former governor of Indiana, reached an agreement with Carrier to keep about half of the jobs at the plant after the candidate sharply criticized Carrier’s parent, United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), as part of his platform of economic nationalism that would put “America first.”
