Bain ships jobs to China, Romney to make 8 Million in deal.....

[ABikerSailor]

It seems that yet another problem has cropped up for the Romney campaign. There is a company in Freeport IL that makes car sensors and they are shipping the whole company to China.

Not only did Bain Capitol (which owns 51 percent of the company) ship the jobs overseas, but, they also had the US workers train the Chinese workers for 10 days, of which during that time the U.S. flag was not flown on company grounds for fear of offending the visiting Chinese workers. Romney's share of the sale of Sensata to China? About 8 million.

Oh yeah...................Sensata has posted good profits (last quarter was a record profit quarter), yet they are selling the company to China.

ATTLEBORO - Workers at the Sensata Technologies plant in Freeport, Ill., seeking to stop their jobs from being shipped to China say the company has threatened to shut down the factory immediately if they don't end protests at the plant.

Sensata employees filed two unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board Wednesday alleging that the company relayed a message through Freeport police that they would shut down the plant earlier than the planned December closing if they didn't stop their protests, which have included attempting to block trucks leaving the factory.

The Freeport plant, which until recently employed about 170 workers, has become an issue in the presidential election campaign because Sensata is partly owned by Bain Capital, a company once led by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Romney had left Bain by the time it bought a stake in Sensata.

Freeport workers recently visited Attleboro's Sensata headquarters in a vain attempt to meet with CEO Tom Wroe over the shutdown.

A total of nine people have been arrested at the Illinois plant so far, according to news reports.

Wednesday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and about a dozen others were arrested during protests, bringing to more than 20 the number of arrests since the demonstrations began.

Sensata officials did not return a phone call or an email message Wednesday seeking comment.

I cannot accurately express the amount fuck American's do not give.

Sensata was already making "BIG" money. They weren't going bankrupt like Republicans would have you believe.

The reason is Mitt and his friends can pay Chinese women working 12 hours a day, $11.88 a day without having to pay health care. Republicans feel if we can get rid of the minimum wage and health care, we could compete. People could work for 99 cents an hour in this country. I already had a Republican defend that in another post. They said they worked for a dollar an hour and it was a "wonderful" experience. When I asked how they could support themselves on a dollar an hour, they said they were living with "mom and dad". Of course.

True story.

Why? Because if Mittens has stated that he knows how to bring jobs back, this is one really piss poor example of it.

Oh..............get this................in the SAME TOWN there is a tire factory that was SAVED by Obama telling China they couldn't sell their tires over here without paying fees. Wanna know who was against that policy that SAVED AMERICAN JOBS?

Mittens.

Methinks if you really cared you would be bitching about Foxconn and GE. Since Romney has not worked at Bain since 1999 why is this an issue?

You can't paint Romney worse than what millions have watched for 4 years.

More women are voting for him after all the abortion and contraceptive focus.

For one, because he started the company, and for another, because Mittens is going to MAKE 8 MILLION DOLLARS on outsourcing AMERICAN jobs.

If it was Obama making money from something like this, you right wingers would be screaming holy hell from the rooftops.

After Mourdocks comment about rape babies being something sent from God, I kinda think that the woman vote is going to run away from Mittens.

You DO realize that Mourdock is the ONLY senator that Mittens has endorsed, right?

Do you care the Obama has investments in Chinese companies? Does it matter at ALL that Obama may be making a bit less than Romney? NO. If your premise is making money off of Chinese jobs or jobs that have been outsourced then you should have a problem with the fact that Obama also invests in Chinese companies and not just American.

Did you have a problem when Obama outsources IT jobs and trains those in other countries?


Or the fact that his AMERICAN Jobs council is full of men and women who outsource jobs as we speak?


Obama Jobs Council Packed With Outsourcing Companies

Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, 26 business leaders assembled by the president for job-spurring ideas, includes representatives of several companies that have used outsourcing, fueling job creation abroad and job losses in the U.S. Shipping work to low-cost overseas labor markets has been a trend in American manufacturing for decades. The White House has a plan to curb outsourcing, but companies represented on the jobs council reveal just how pervasive the practice is.

There’s General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immelt has served as chair of the advisory board since January 2011. Since Immelt took over GE in 2001, the company has lost 37,000 American jobs, and added 25,000 jobs overseas, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some of those U.S. job losses are inflated by the company’s sale of NBC to Comcast in 2009.

Chris Townsend, political director of the United Electrical Workers labor union that represents roughly 5,500 GE employees in the U.S., said the company has closed more than 30 U.S. plants since Obama took office. GE would not confirm the number.

Actually, Bain is an AMERICAN company that made it's money by figuring out how to outsource jobs to other countries. It was started by Mittens.

And yeah............if Obama had started a company that specialized in outsourcing jobs, I'd bitch about that as well.

Besides, I thought you righties didn't source HuffPo because you said it was all propaganda.

Months of throwing dirt at Romney and Romney leads. Obama and Co. shot their loads and it didn't work. All that really needs to be said. Tell Obama to turn off the lights and close the door on the way out.

I realize Bain is an American Company. So is GE and Obama HAND SELECTED the CEO to sit as the American Jobs czar all the while he has practiced giving jobs to other countries. And many others pratice outsourcing on his jobs council as well. If one cared about jobs being outsourced then one should have a big problem with such. I sourced Huffpo since it seems it is highly regarded by many on the left. If you would like another source feel free to ask.

 

[depotoo]

this is really getting old, how many threads have there been?
Let's start with the fact, this was a TI company that was sold to an affiliate of Bain in 2006, long after Romney left.
Next, 3 of the top execs at Bain are Democrats, of which 2 are openly supporting the election of Obama. Now where is your disdain for Obama, who has accepted large donations from them?

You mean a SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN COMPANY that posted record profits last quarter, as well as provided good American jobs.

I don't care who the execs are or their party affiliation, they're still shipping jobs overseas.

 

[whitehall]

Where y'all lefties been? Solar panels are made in China. Components of alleged "green energy" are made in China. Thanks to O-blame-a's "green" policies, we are mortgaged to the next century with China. Why should Bain lose out?
