Traficant meets with Delphi retirees Wednesday night

BOARDMAN — Hourly Delphi retirees concerned about changes in their health-care coverage have sought and obtained a meeting with former U.S. Rep. James A. Traficant Jr. at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the East-West Ballroom of the Holiday Inn here.

“We’re trying to get information on what else we can do,” said Linda Fanfer of Boardman, chairwoman of the GM-Delphi Hourly Retirees USA Fight Back, who organized the meeting. “We’ve been writing to every politician you can think of,” she added.

Hourly retirees are concerned about the switch from their current comprehensive health-care coverage to a new high-deductible catastrophic health-care plan, which is scheduled to take effect Jan. 1.
