Trump Carrier Deal: President-Elect Miffed By Union Official’s Criticism; USW Leader Says Trump Lied About Jobs Saved
December 8, 2016
President-elect Donald Trump rejected criticism Wednesday from a union leader who said Trump’s deal with Carrier was not nearly as good as the president-elect made it out to be.
Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers 1999, which represents Carrier employees, said Trump “lied his a—off” when he said he had convinced the furnace and air conditioner maker to preserve 1,100 jobs in Indianapolis.
