Will Delphi close its Cortland plant?

WARREN — Union officials are concerned that Delphi Packard Electric is about to close its Cortland plant.

Union leaders met Tuesday with Packard executives after hearing rumors that the plant could be closed, said Mike O’Donnell, shop chairman of Local 717 of the International Union of Electrical Workers. They were told no decision had been made.

O’Donnell said, however, that the threat is real.

“Their manufacturing capability far exceeds what their customer orders are, so they need to make an adjustment somewhere,” he said.
