"Chris Nelson, Carrier's president of HVAC systems and services for North America, said in a press release that "this move is intended to address the challenges we continue to face in a rapidly changing HVAC industry, with the continued migration of the HVAC industry to Mexico, including our suppliers and competitors, and ongoing cost and pricing pressures driven, in part, by new regulatory requirements."

I wonder how many of these folks cheered the actions of Scott Walker?

EXACTLY!!!!!

I've never lost my job due to these production moves to lower cost countries, but I have been to a couple of these meetings and they are rough. I have managerial experience and an advanced degree so I know I have options if forced out, but I'd be surrounded by people that knew they couldn't sniff their current pay level. It's heartbreaking. 3 years ago, they laid off my whole team in the first wave....it was hard on several levels. Then, 6 months later, 1/2 the new team was laid off. Guess what they did 6 months after that? Rough.
