BREAKING: Sensata closes plant down (21+ / 0-)
Hi all - I'm sorry to have to do this but we just got word that they're shutting the plant down out of "fear." We don't know what they're afraid of, exactly.
We're going to find out what's going on, but I'm really enjoying this.
I will be back to answer questions later!

Sensata, the Freeport Illinois manufacturing company controlled by Bain Capital, including $8 million dollars in investements from Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, is the center of a growing controversy where current employees have been asked to train their replacements before the jobs are moved to China.
Not sure how to do this Kossacks, but it's news if it's true, and it broke here, so we should report it. If anyone has ideas for how to do this better, let me know.
