According to Jones, Trump’s claim that he saved the jobs of “over 1,100 people” is flatly untrue, based on his interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday. Jones claimed that, despite Trump having announced last week that he had struck a deal with parent company United Technologies to preserve 1,100 jobs in Indianapolis, Carrier informed Jones that only 730 of union production jobs would stay (roughly 800 jobs in total if nonunion positions are included). This means that 550 of his members would still see their positions shipped overseas.
Yet when Trump stood up to discuss this at a Dec. 1 meeting, Jones recalled, “For whatever reason, he lied his ass off.”
