Delphi, IUE agreeon attrition plan
DELPHI CORP. announced late Friday night that the company has reached agreement with the International Union of Electrical Workers and General Motors Corp. on a special hourly attrition plan, which includes early retirements along with pre-retirement opportunities and buy-outs for eligible employees. GM has agreed to provide financial support under the proposed plan, the company said. The plan enables a more rapid transformation to a reduced labor cost structure across Delphi's U.S. manufacturing operations. The plan, which is subject to bankruptcy court approval, provides financial incentives for certain types of retirements and permits the transition of up to 3,200 IUE-represented Delphi employees to GM for retirement.
