In a post on Twitter Thursday morning, Mr. Trump said: “I am working hard, even on Thanksgiving, trying to get Carrier A.C. Company to stay in the U.S. (Indiana). In a recent New York Times article, workers at one plant in Indianapolis warned that they would withdraw their support for Mr. Trump if he did not keep his promise to bring back overseas jobs. PhotoIn a time of slow economic growth and intense pressure from Wall Street to improve profits, moving production south of the border seemed like too good of an opportunity for United Technologies’ executives to pass up. However, a shaky video of the announcement on the Carrier factory floor — and the furious reaction of workers — went viral in February. “Others are saying, let’s see if he’s really going to do this.”“I was very surprised to see it on Thanksgiving today,” Mr. Roell added.
