Sanders endorsed by Carrier Corp. workers union

Bernie Sanders' campaign announced Tuesday the Vermont senator had been endorsed by the union representing Carrier Corporation.

Around 1,400 jobs are expected to be lost from United Steelworkers Local 1999 because of Carrier's decision to outsource the positions to Mexico.

“Bernie Sanders for decades has fought against the kinds of disastrous trade deals that are now allowing Carrier to ship over a thousand good-paying Indiana jobs to Mexico,” said Local 1999 president Chuck Jones. “Bernie Sanders is the only candidate running for president who will do something to stop this kind of corporate greed if he is elected – because he’s been fighting against it for years. We will be doing everything we can to help him win the primary here in Indiana on May 3.”

Sanders previously denounced the decision by Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies, to move operations to Mexico.
