Trump Clashes With Union Leader Who Called Him Out Over Jobs

President-elect Donald Trump has lashed out at the union leader from Indianapolis who pointed out that Trump didn't actually save 1,100 jobs at Carrier from being shipped to Mexico.
In February, Carrier corporate officials announced that the air conditioning and heating company was moving jobs to Mexico. Trump has been vocal about his disapproval on exporting jobs oversees. After visiting the facility, Trump announced just last month that he had made a deal with United Technologies, Carrier's parent company, to save 1,100 American jobs.
“I will tell you that United Technologies and Carrier stepped it up,” he told workers in Indianapolis while visiting the factory. “And now they're keeping—actually the number's over 1,100 people, which is so great, which is so great.”
But Carrier told its employees that 550 people would get laid off.
Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers 1999, which represents Carrier employees, accused Trump of misleading workers into making them believe no one was going to be laid off.
Trump responded via Twitter to these claims.
Jones responded in an op-ed in the Washington Post. "I'm tired about being lied to about our jobs," he wrote.

Thinkstock photo Dubai, December 6 Men who exercise between three and five times a week may improve their sperm counts and other measures of sperm quality in just a few months, according to a new study. Researchers from Urmia University in Iran also found that men exercising moderately and continuously improved their sperm quality more than those following popular intensive exercise programmes like high intensity interval training (HIIT). One in three couples struggle to conceive due to poor semen quality. The only treatment available for couples unable to conceive naturally is In vitro fertilisation (IVF), but using poor quality sperm may increase the risk of miscarriage, birth defects and the development of childhood cancer, researchers said. Current advice for men seeking to improve their chances of conceiving include combining healthy eating with regular exercise while giving up smoking and reducing the intake of alcohol.
