Indiana Senate expresses profound disappointment in Carrier Corporation and United Technologies for relocating 2,100 jobs from Indianapolis to Mexico, where workers may earn as little as $3.00 per hour

Carrier Corporation manufactured products in Indianapolis for more than half the company's history and received taxpayer dollars for workforce development before announcing the relocation

United Technologies had net income of $6.1 billion on net sales of $57 billion in its most recent fiscal year, earning $156,164,383.56 per day

Resolution cites Indiana's competitive business advantages including top-ten ranking for business environment, AAA credit rating, lowest cost of doing business in the nation, and declining corporate income tax rates from 6.5% to 4.9% by 2021

Secretary of the Senate directed to transmit copies of the resolution to the board of directors at United Technologies and Carrier, Chris Nelson, and Bob McDonough
