What happened
In November 2016 Carrier agreed, after talks with Trump and Mike Pence, to keep roughly 1,100 jobs in Indianapolis in exchange for about $7 million in tax incentives, while still shifting hundreds of positions to Mexico. On July 19, 2017 the plant laid off 338 workers, with another 290 layoffs scheduled for Dec. 22, 2017; Carrier said much of its promised $16 million investment would go to automation and result in net job loss.
