One other part of the problem at GM/Delphi is the jobs bank.
They have around 20,000 company wide just sitting on their butts collecting checks for 40 hours, waiting for an opening.
My company does the vending for most of the GM/Delphi plants in Mid Michigan. My father-in-law retired two years ago from Delphi. in Flint. They were closing the alternator plant down anyway. His pension MAY be cut about in half. This probably won't affect him but I can understand how, for some others, it will be detrimental to their way of life.
Tomorrow should be an interesting day in the plants.
I am sure I will get "requests" to lower our prices because of the troubles.
BTW--I know that not ALL of the Delphi employees are jacka$$es. Unfortunately, they have the biggest mouths.
