President Trump keeps publicly shaming companies. Does it work? | Analysis by zbyronwolf
Presidents don't usually call out local union reps by name. They don't usually complain publicly about American CEOs.
Layoffs begin at factory Trump helped save 03:26During the 2016 campaign, the closure of a Carrier plant in Indiana became the symbol for the decline of US manufacturing jobs. Trump promised that if he were elected, the company would stay. Indeed, that's sort of what happened. After the election but before he had been sworn in as President, Trump was stepping in to save that very specific plant in Vice President Mike Pence's home state of Indiana.
After 52 years, Lordstown must face life after GM 02:27In a series of pointed tweets, Trump said the economy is good, so Chevy should keep the plant, the closure of which was announced back in November. He complained about the United Auto Workers and that talks between GM and the UAW aren't happening fast enough. And he pointed out that Toyota, the Japanese company, is investing in the US by opening new plants. He didn't point out that the Toyota plant is opening in Alabama.
— Donald J. Trump March 18, 2019 Just spoke to Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors about the Lordstown Ohio plant. I am not happy that it is closed when everything else in our Country is BOOMING. I asked her to sell it or do something quickly. She blamed the UAW Union — I don't care, I just want it open!
