Carrier announces timeline for eliminating Indianapolis jobs
INDIANAPOLIS – Carrier Corp. is releasing a timeline for eliminating 632 jobs at the company’s Indianapolis factory — work that will be outsourced to Mexico.
Company officials said in a letter released Monday that 338 jobs would be cut by July 20. Another 290 will be out of work by Dec. 22.
United Steelworkers Local 1999 Vice-President Robert James says it’s “cold” to put people out of work just days before Christmas.
President Donald Trump made the plight of 1,400 Carrier workers a major campaign theme. Under pressure from Trump, Carrier announced last November that it would keep some operations in Indianapolis, sparing about 800 workers.
The company is also closing a sister plant in Huntington.
