Happy Columbus Day to the workers at Sensata Technologies.

“Not only is Bain taking away these workers’ incomes and livelihoods, the company is forcing them to train their replacements from China. That’s outrageous.”

The employees at Sensata Technology want America to witness the USA economy according to Bain Capital. Yes, this is today, this is now, this is Bain Capital, Romney's legacy to all of us, in the USA.

I have a question for Romney / Ryan. "Will they stop these draconian practices in the USA?" 

American labor wants to know.

You know the ones, the 47% which are a part of the 99%.

Dot Tuner of Winnegago (click here) - photographed Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012, on the Stephenson County Fairgrounds in Freeport — wears her “You can’t outsource freedom of speech!” badge to work at Sensata Technologies, where she has been on the payroll for 43 years. She has been staying at the Bainport protest encampment across the street from the plant.

Some of the 99%, even though they are working, are part of the 47%. That is why American workers are at strike at Walmart. Those folks work to earn MONEY, but, they don't earn enough to MAKE A LIVING. That is a problem for the country.

Walmart stores are not at all neighborhood markets. There is not a soul, including the greeters, who knows all the buyers and their preferences when they come into the store. So, the 'slogan' is false advertising. Sincerely. Walmart is the complete opposite of a neighborhood store. It is huge, depersonalized, 'Big Box,' and abuses their employees. So there sincerely is nothing 'homey' about Walmart. And if this was my neighborhood I seriously consider some profound rezoning and tighter definitions of what was allowed in neighborhoods in the way of benevolent employers. It is just a 'thing' I have about the American landscape.

Yes, indeed. Walmart exudes all kinds of characteristics that the former governor would consider A TOOL for profits. So, the question lingers in my mind about whether or not Romney/Ryan has changed their ways and will provide employer BENEFITS, such as private pensions to replace Medicare and SSI. I mean they want to end entitlements.

So, considering they want to end government entitlements what are they putting in place, which will be mandatory to employers with employees that are Middle Class or Poor, which will substitute for what SSI and Medicare has done for those retired and disabled. People with poor working conditions become disabled more frequently than those with good working conditions. It is only fair they have a disability program to replace SSD and Medicare. After all they became disabled helping their employers make exorbitant profits for their shareholders. Shareholders that aren't even Americans, huh?

Just days after striking warehouse workers (click here) staged a large blockade outside a major Walmart supply warehouse in the suburbs, a group of like-minded labor advocates marched in front of a downtown Chicago Walmart store.

The group, lead by Chicago Jobs With Justice, contained some of the same workers who attended Monday’s rally, like Dakari Whitfield.

Whitfield told Progress Illinois that many employees in the suburban Elmwood warehouse work in harsh conditions indoors without good ventilation, rarely get paid on time, and are treated badly when they complain to managers.

“It’s an unfair labor practices strike. We’re asking for a set schedule, benefits, and maybe transportation,” Whitfield said. “When we presented this position, people got fired and suspended.”...

Oh, one other thing. If the answer to my inquiry is more or less 'go to hell.' I sincerely am not looking for a pharmaceutical to help the lingering of the question to go away in my mind.
