Mediation fails in Carrier job dispute at DeWitt plant
State mediation with Carrier Corp and the Sheet Metal Workers union failed to produce progress on saving 300 jobs at the TR-1 chiller plant in DeWitt. Carrier seeks a contract addendum altering work rules to cut costs and invest $25 million to retain 298 jobs, while the union opposes the addendum, saying it would split membership between buildings. The fate of the plant and 250 planned job cuts remain unresolved as talks continue without a new schedule.
