7. Yeah, for sure. Actually, they didn't really advertise it very well

maybe they didn't want too big of a crowd.

6. "they could possibly stay if the workers agreed to cut their pay from about $23 an hour to $5.85"

INDIANAPOLIS -- Carrier contemplated staying in Indianapolis, but it would have come at a great cost to its workers.

Carrier decided in February to move 1,400 Indianapolis jobs (2,100 in total) to Monterrey, Mexico.

Following that announcement, representatives from the United Steelworkers Union and United Technologies, which owns Carrier, met for negotiations.

Call 6ABC Investigates found out that during those talks Carrier apparently told the union they could possibly stay if the workers agreed to cut their pay from about $23 an hour to $5.85 an hour.
Carrier is supposed to save about $65 million a year when it moves to Mexico in 2017.
