Carrier union head getting death threats after Trump attack
“They ask if I have children.”
An Indianapolis union leader Wednesday said he’s receiving death threats after criticizing Donald Trump for “[lying] his ass off” about the Carrier deal, the IndyStar.com reports
Jones told the IndyStar the threats came pouring in after a Washington Post article Tuesday quoted the Union Steelworkers Local 1999 president calling out the president-elect for exaggerating his claim that he saves 1,100 jobs from moving overseas.

“Calling me names, wanting to know if I have children,” Jones said of the threats he’s received since the Post article. “I better watch out for myself, and they know what kind of car I drive, that I better watch out for my kids.” Trump took to Twitter late Wednesday after Jones appeared on a news segment with CNN’s Erin Burnett, insisting the United Steelworkers 1999 president “has done a terrible job representing workers.”
