Carrier Denies Local Reporter Access To Trump 'Celebration'
Indy reporter Rafael Sánchez has been covering the Carrier layoffs since February of this year when they were first announced. He traveled to Mexico to illustrate how no American could afford to live on the $3 per day paycheck Carrier would pay plant workers there, and he has aggressively covered their decision to ship jobs out.
Sánchez was denied a press credential to cover the event, but not by Trump's team. No, it was Carrier who made the decision to exclude him. He reports here:
