Tell me what a great job creator he is. Well, this is how the greed of Mitt Romney and Bain Capitol COST Americans their jobs.
Sensata has made huge profits in Freeport, while paying employees a $17/hr starting wage, that's approximately $35,000 a year for highschool graduates. They have chosen to move the plant to China where they will pay workers a .99 cent base wage, 70% will work 12 hour shift with 1 day off a month! That's the kind of wages Romney thinks Americans should be satisfied with?! But he's a job creator.
THE FACTS:
Sensata Technologies employees in Freeport, Ill., on the plant’s second and weekend shift received phone calls from the company’s management Oct. 19 informing them they don’t need to report to work any longer.
Sensata is shutting down the plant’s operations for the weekend in the face of growing national outrage at the Bain-owned company’s outsourcing of the plant and its 170 jobs to China by the end of the year.
Workers began an encampment, since named 'Bainport,' Sept. 12 at Stephenson County Fairgrounds to protest Bain’s decision to ship their jobs to China and increase the pressure on former Bain co-founder/CEO Romney — who still profits directly from Sensata — to help save their jobs.
The workers plan to stay at the encampment until Romney agrees to help save their jobs, or, as stated in a release from the group, 'until middle-class voters nationwide understand the dangers of a Romney economy for our country.
OF COURSE, LOCAL COPS HAVE BEEN ARRESTING PROTESTERS. Here's the latest on that:

This isn't the first time Bain has done this. And it won't be the last time Romney does it if you're fool enough to let him sit in the CEO's chair.
It's his nature. It's who he is. Why assume he'll do any different?
ROMNEY THE JOB CREATOR. Tell that to freshly fired American workers.
