Greg LeRoy on Carrier Deal, Kelly Hayes on What’s Next for #NODAPL

This week on CounterSpin: Donald Trump says he “never thought I made that promise” to keep more than a thousand Carrier corporation jobs in Indiana that were slated to move to Mexico, and also the union leader who heard him make it is “terrible” at his job. Shown the video in which he made the promise, Trump explained he “didn’t mean it quite that way.”

But what if instead of getting lost in Trump’s machinations, media looked at what deals like the one that actually happened with Carrier actually wind up meaning for workers and local economies? We’ll hear from Greg LeRoy, from the group Good Jobs First, about what reporters interested in jobs, rather than in what Trump says (today) about jobs, might be talking about now.
