As reported by the Associated Press:
Sensata Technologies is owned by Bain Capital and in the process of moving its Freeport manufacturing operations to China. That’ll cost Freeport 170 jobs.
Company officials say most of the plant’s revenues are generated in Asia, making the move a logical decision.
Rev. Jackson is expected to be released later today.
