14 of 18 UAW plants to close.

Good opportunity for other Teir 1 suppliers to cherry pick the good jobs.

The Troy, Mich.-based parts maker — now with 28 U.S. plants and 33,000 hourly workers — intends to close all but four of 18 factories represented by the United Auto Workers after it emerges from bankruptcy

Wow - now that sends a message.

[wideawake]

What's bad for the UAW is good for America.

[Red Badger]

...3100 Needmore Road...

How apropos.......

[Spktyr]

Good riddance. Less UAW votes for Dems.

[wideawake]

GM should void all contracts with the UAW, hire security guards at their plants and replacement workers.

Security + replacements should be a fraction of the cost of the current Stalinist cabal they call employees.

Doesn't this further prove that the leaders of the UAE government, which owns and controls Delphi, are spoiled children, who want to take their ball and go home because they didn't always get what they want.

OKAY! Let's all sing it together!

We work for...

The Union label

Well we used to

But not no more...

An expected and needed reorganization.

It ties with the changes happening at GM.

[LtKerst]

Bankrupt supplier Delphi Corp. has identified 14 U.S. factories it will shed as part of its reorganization

I'm sorry for the workers...But My car has a Delphi sterio in it and it is a piece of crap. It is a 2005 Ford mustang GT and the sterio skips ,and locks up..and I have replaced it once already.

Delphi sterios are Garbage...before you buy any Car ask who made the sterio.

Good opportunity for other Teir 1 suppliers to cherry pick the good jobs.

Those jobs will be created offshore as more automotive components will be imported.

Our Japanese are better than their Chinese.

We are looking at a few assemblies to be made here in Ohio.

[Bigs from Michigan]

one more nail in the coffin of the Labor Unions.

This will Impact Michigan, where I live, very hard, but I hope, probably foolishly, that it will spur the people of this state to stop electing big labor supported politicians. As Long as we continue to be a closed shop state, we will continue to lose Jobs.

I would be very interested in seeing how many factories are opened in the Right to work states by Delphi and other companies that will step in to fill the hole left here.

The foolish thing is that the Governor will continue to be clueless as to why plant closings are occurring and what t do to stop it. I ask, what is more important, the Labor Unions or the Jobs of the people they are so ill serving.

One of the Reasons I am Voting for DeVos this year

[1rudeboy]

UAE, or UAW?

[P-40]

Those jobs will be created offshore as more automotive components will be imported.

That remains to be seen. Hopefully the plants will be picked up by someone else, absent the union, or the operation will move to a right-to-work state.

Didn't Al Bore's mom used to sing him to sleep with that song?

[Flightdeck]

When I was in college I worked for Delphi in Warren, OH. It was a good internship, but all of us student got laid off early because it was the summer of the big GM strike. I got screwed by a bunch of GED-armed button pushers who wanted $70K/year. One guy I knew insisted on a microwave being installed in his million dollar plastic extruder, so he could cook popcorn without having to leave.

My husband is a Delphi salaried retiree, but is now a contract employee for them because they've had too many young salaried employees quit and needed him. Today he drove our junk pickup to work because he thinks the union workers will get nasty.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I apologize, I got the two names confused.
