Bain is sending 170 jobs from Freeport IL to China.
The workers are asking Rmoney to save their jobs.
This is a lose-lose for him. Either he can't stand up to his old company or he will be asked by everyone in the country to save their jobs.
Edit to add, that story has now ended but one of my Senators is on now.

(205,257 posts)A woman who had worked at her soon-to-be-outsourced job for 33 years, chairman of the city council and the mayor. They've appealed to Rmoney personally to intervene. They've also invited Rmoney and the president to come there - to the exact site of the Lincoln-Douglas debate - to debate on just this topic. Losing all those jobs would be just devastating for the city, let alone for all those who stand to lose their jobs.
