Delphi
Officials of Delphi's two largest unions (UAW and IUE-CWA) rejected the company's latest proposed wage and benefit cuts. Officials of both unions said there was nothing in the proposal to even warrant taking it to union members for a vote. The proposal included a pay cut from $27 to $22 an hour in July 2006 and to $16.50 an hour in September 2007. The proposal also included new, larger health care premiums. As a result of the rejection, Delphi is likely to file Friday in bankruptcy court to void labor agreements covering over 33,000 union members.
