00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.831
My name is Bonnie and I've worked at the Sensata factory for 23 years

00:00:04.831 --> 00:00:08.159
Last year Bain Capital bought our company

00:00:08.159 --> 00:00:13.509
and we found out that our jobs were going overseas

00:00:13.509 --> 00:00:18.408
Bain sent over workers from China to learn our jobs

00:00:18.408 --> 00:00:22.272
so that they could replace us

00:00:22.272 --> 00:00:27.408
One of the workers that I met that came here from China went by the name of Max

00:00:27.408 --> 00:00:37.566
But they all took on American names so that we would be able to pronounce them while we trained them to do our jobs

00:00:37.566 --> 00:00:42.708
Max had a family in China, a wife and a little boy that he talked about a lot

00:00:42.708 --> 00:00:46.960
and I know that he missed a lot while he was here

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:56.795
Max would ask me, what was next for me after my job left and I would have to tell him that I didn't really know

00:00:56.795 --> 00:01:05.520
I'm 52 and it's not easy to start over at this age

00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:19.627
With a Romney economy we're looking at basically all the good-paying, well-benefit jobs being outsourced to China

00:01:19.627 --> 00:01:27.712
and the jobs that are created are all going to be service jobs that pay minimum wage or less

00:01:27.712 --> 00:01:38.698
I'd like to see a time when Max can come here to visit and see all the sights that we have in this country

00:01:38.698 --> 00:01:49.160
and other people like him come and visit, but not come here because they're training to take our jobs back to China
