According to Chuck Jones, president of the union that represents both Carrier and Rexnord workers, Trump hasn’t talked to Rexnord about the layoffs. “I’ve reached out to him numerous times through the media and said if he’s sincere about keeping the jobs here in this country, we’d be grateful to sit down and see if we could get it worked out,” he told USA Today. “We haven’t heard nothing. As far as we know, Rexnord and him haven’t talked about anything.”
Other companies in the state will also soon begin layoffs as they move production outside of the country. Electronics company Harman International plans to cut 125 jobs by January and shift them to Mexico; auto parts manufacturer CTS Corp will cut 230 jobs and move them overseas.
