title:  Carrier To Employees: Donald Trump Lied, We’re Still Sending 1,300 Jobs To Mexico
text: While Donald Trump may have bribed Carrier into keeping some 800 jobs in the United States with millions of dollars in tax breaks and other incentives   a dangerous precedent, as companies now know they only need to threaten to move out of the United States to get massive gifts from the Trump administration   one thing he doesn t even acknowledge is that more jobs will still be going to Mexico than will stay in the United States.In a deal that even stalwart Trump supporter calls a  hallmark of corruption  and  crony capitalism,  Trump and Pence offered the company $7 million to keep a small portion of the jobs they planned to move across the border in Indiana. The problem is that the company will still be moving 1,300 jobs Trump and his crew refuse to speak about. But Carrier was forthright with employees in a companywide letter explaining The Donald s attempt to deceive the American public into thinking he was doing some actual good. While this announcement is good news for many, we recognize it is not good news for everyone,  the letter tells employees. Carrier explains that regardless of any deal with Trump they intend to  move forward with previously unannounced plans  to relocate 1,300 jobs to Mexico by the end of the year. We recognize that this has been very difficult for your families,  the letter says, praising employees for continuing to work even knowing the company intended to f*ck them over with or without Donald Trump s input.  We greatly appreciate this and sincerely thank you for all your efforts.
