. >> jeffrey is one of 173 freeport sensata workers could be out of a job by this december. dozens of his coworkers are packing into a local restaurant to show they're all against a move that will ship the company's production to china. >> to have them pick it up and say that they can make the same product cheaper and make more money is disturbing. because we are profitable. >> cenk: all right well that clip was supposed to show you that the ceo is happy with the company. as you just found out oops, somebody's not happy with the company. the 170 workers they're about to fire in illinois and ship their jobs overseas to. give you a sense of how happy the ceo is, he made $4.5 million last year. in fact, they sold $569 million of shares when they opened in 2010 so it is not like they're not making money. they're making a ton of money they just want to make a little bit more so the workers in illinois happen to be a little expendable. well, who is involved in bain? anybody know? anybody? oh right, mitt romney. wait a minute. that was in the past. he doesn't run bain now. that's t

she's been working for sensata technologies for 43 years. mitt romney doesn't care about people like dot turner. if he becomes president of the united states, he's even going to care less. it will be the model on steroids. he'll pave the way for companies to do this kind of stuff to hard working americans. joining me tonight is james hoffa, general president of the teamsters. good to have you with us tonight. this model, i mean, it's dangerous for american workers, isn't it? this climate that would be created and developed under mitt romney's leadership in this country, what would it mean for the country? >> this could be another disaster. this is exactly what we have been seeing and now we have a presidential candidate who says there's nothing long with sending american jobs overseas, to laying people off. we have lost millions and millions of jobs to anywhere you can say, whether it's china, india, mexico. haven't we seen enough of this? and the answer s he doesn't see anything wrong with that. if this doesn't make the election a clear cho

. >> i can imagine this is a tremendous shock to a lot of the employees there at sensata.r colleagues are training chinese workers taking your jobs. that's got to be tough. shelly, what do you expect mitt romney to do? what would you want mitt romney to do? >> well, we certainly know his history with bain capital, and we understand, well, we don't understand fully what his relationship with bain capital is now, but we certainly believe he has some influence and the workers here really would love for mitt romney to come to our community and talk to the people who are losing their jobs. actually, what we would really love to see is the mayor, and i talked this afternoon, would be for governor romney and president obama to hold a debate in the city of freeport to talk about how to make america more competitive. companies lie like bain capital are in the business of creating wealth. we're in the business of creating jobs. they don't have to be mutually exclusive, but it's difficult to handle those on a local level because it's federal policies that make the difference. we woul
