You are addressing a management philosophy while I was discussing a legal concept.  While I agree in sentiment and in structure of the philosophy, it remains a fiduciary duty to manage on behalf of the owners.  If the owners/shareholders wanted Carrier to stay in Syracuse more than their desire to earn profit from their stock, then Carrier would have stayed in Syracuse.  As many multinationals are largely held by institutional investors, there lacks a tie to community and there exists a more profit centered goal.

Conversely, one can argue that the Syracuse labor market has priced itself out of competition and they have breached their duty to Carrier and the managers.  I don't hold this position, but it is an argument and it holds some water, especially with shareholders with no ties to Syracuse.  Additionally, who is to say that the company will not have their new employees' interests at heart (just an argument, not my position in the least).

Recall that I began my comment with "Let's remove sentimentality."
