The Carrier factory in Indianapolis is moving to Mexico. It plans to begin layoffs in the summer of 2017 and be finished firing all the American workers by 2019. It's time for Trump to make the promised phone call to save these jobs.
Carrier’s decision to move the factory to Monterrey, Mexico, will eliminate 1,400 jobs by 2019. Mr. Trump quickly made the factory Exhibit A in his argument against the trade policies of Republicans and Democrats alike.
