Carrier Corp. Agrees To Keep About 1,000 Jobs At Indiana Factory

(RTTNews) - Carrier Corp. has agreed to keep about 1,000 jobs at an Indiana factory that had been set to move to Mexico, after a lobbying effort from the incoming Trump administration.

In a statement posted Tuesday to its Twitter account, Carrier said the company was "pleased to have reached a deal with President-elect Trump & VP-elect Pence to keep close to 1,000 jobs in Indy. More details soon."

Carrier, a division of United Technologies Corp., that makes heating and air conditioning equipment, had announced plans earlier this year to shift some production to Monterrey, Mexico, as part of a broader corporate cost-cutting. The decision became a target during the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, who pledged to prevent such outsourcing or punish U.S. firms that shifted jobs abroad.
