THAT'S NO RAT, THAT'S CHEETO JESUS:

Many other Carrier workers, however, expressed deep skepticism about the arrangement. "We don't know anything. We don't have any details on how they worked it out. We just know that supposedly he's saving 1,000 jobs. But what does that really mean?" Donnisha Taylor, a 12-year veteran of the Carrier plant said to the Star. "Something is fishy. Something is not adding up."

Brenda Battle, a Carrier employee for 24 years, said she was happy workers will be keeping their jobs, but based on previous difficulties negotiating with their employer assumes the final deal won't be great for workers. "As of yet we don't know what kind of concessions we're going to have to put up with to keep our jobs," she said. "I smell a rat."

"We didn't know the breakdown before because no one would give us any information," Union President Chuck Jones told Eyewitness News by phone Monday. "Now what we're losing is 550 member jobs."

"We found out today that more jobs are leaving than what we originally thought," Bray said. "It seemed like since Thursday, it was 1,100 then it was maybe 900 and then now we're at 700. So I'm hoping it doesn't go any lower than that."

Union workers got a letter at the plant saying Trump's deal with Carrier will save only 730 factory jobs in Indianapolis, plus 70 salaried positions - 553 jobs in the plant's fan coil lines are still moving to Monterrey, Mexico.

All 700 workers at Carrier's Huntington plant will also lose their jobs.
