The large crowd of employees of a Carrier Air Conditioner manufacturing plant in Indianapolis can be seen milling around as a speaker — dressed in a suit and standing on a stage — addresses them and gives them the bad news.
"The best way to stay competitive and protect the business for long-term is to move production from our facility in Indianapolis to Monterrey, Mexico," the man can be heard explaining.
The crowd reacts with shouts of outrage, including one man who can be heard yelling, "F*ck you."
Following that bombshell, he adds that the local distribution center will also be closed, putting more people out of work.
After attempting to calm the crowd down saying he had important information that employees will want to know for the future he explains that the move is being made to "ensure high levels of [manufacturing] quality."
Comment: Nonsense! It's all about profits with absolutely no regard for the workers.
He goes on to provide them with the cold comfort that "It is important that you understand that there will be no impact on jobs today."
According to news sources the closures will put over 1,400 people out of work.

The best answer is to make this a catastrophic business decision for them. They better hope that the Mexicans can afford their air conditioners.
