Remember Sensata? If not, read this post: Bain owned company outsourcing Illinois jobs to China; employees want Mitt Romney to intervene.

To add insult to injury, those soon-to-be-ex-employees have to train their own Chinese replacements. Their jobs are being shipped to China by the end of this year.

Now Your Daily Dose of BuzzFlash at Truthout, via my pal Mark Karlin:

BuzzFlash at Truthout talked today to Tom Gaulrapp who is losing his job after 33 years because Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital is sending the Sensata plant where he works to China. [...]

Over the past several weeks, the Sensata workers … have put pressure on Mitt Romney through a campground protest across from the Freeport plant, solicited community support, started a press release campaign, and are currently conducting a bus tour targeting outsourcers of jobs to China.  The soon to be displaced employees call their encampment Bainport and maintain a website to publicize their efforts. 

[T]he Romney campaign finally responded through a spokesperson earlier this week:

“Governor Romney has not worked at Bain Capital for over a decade, but for four years President Obama has been presiding over an economy that is creating too few jobs and sending more jobs overseas. Despite the President being invested in Sensata through his personal pension fund, and the government owning a major Sensata customer in GM, President Obama has not used his powers to help this situation in any way.” — Curt Cashour, Romney Campaign Spokesman

Say what?  … Gaulrapp told BuzzFlash that unions are fully supporting even though the plant is not a union shop.  But the Romney campaign’s effort to blame Obama for Bain’s outsourcing of jobs to China is so brazen, such a big lie, many people might think it is true.

As part of his retirement holdings, which earned him more than $20 million in 2011, Romney has a stake in the Bain Capital fund that owns Sensata, so he directly benefits from the outsourcing.
