Does $10 an hour sound reasonable for someone who has worked 30 years in manufacturing?

No, but Delphi was created in 1999. Nobody has more than 6 years with the company, by my calculations. But I am only a college graduate making $18 dollars an hour.

Delphi was spun off from GM in 1999. There are plenty of workers who have worked their for 30 years. They just worked for GM owned Delphi for most of that time.

"No, but Delphi was created in 1999."

It was spun off of GM in 1999. The plants and the workers have been around for much longer.

Most of the Delphi workers are former GM employees who took their wages/benefits and seniority with them when Delphi was spun off. So, there could be a lot of employees with 25-30 years.
