From Addicting Info
Police arrested 16-year-old Karri Penniston and two other protesters at the Sensata Technologies plant
in Freeport, IL last week on October 8th. The workers and their
supporters had an altercation with a truck driver hired to move
equipment from the plant.
The protests began last month on September
12th, when Sensata — a company owned by Bain Capital, the notorious
leveraged buy-out firm founded by Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney —
announced that 200 workers would be laid off by the end of this year,
and that their jobs are being sent to China.
To add insult to injury,
Bain Capital ordered Sensata workers to take down the American flag when their Chinese replacements arrived for training (yes, part of Bain’s “harvesting” process requires workers to train their own replacements).
