"Delphi is required to pay GM wages of $27 an hour to most of its 24,000 UAW-represented workers. That's double the level of competing suppliers, according to Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. Delphi also had to pay full wages and benefits to 4,000 laid-off workers in jobs banks, which cost it $400 million each year."
notice I bolded the name of the ratings service?

I use to work for them a long time ago in dayton, ohio. They were called delco chassis back then. It's hard to believe that they r going under since they do so much.
I may also drop some money into these guys because they should try to make a come back and be worth a lot of money.

60% proposed wage cut for factory floor workers? There's a war being waged on the middle class in this country- it's being waged on the fronts of wages, healthcare, and retirement benefits. I'm dumbfounded that more folks haven't figured this out. That's an economic, not a political comment- this has been going on for almost a decade.
The real question with Delphi is who the last domino will be.

Delphi was done for the day GM spun them off. That was the idea. GM did the same thing to (4) Inland Fisher Guide plants in the early 90's and called them "Peregrine". They lasted long enough for the car models to be phased out or Gm to pay for tooling in Mexcio to replace the equipment at Peregrine. In each case the high cost of labor was a major factor.
