Local Delphi salaried retirees headed to Detroit

WARREN — Several members of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association here will join their Michigan counterparts in Detroit on Friday for a demonstration in front of the General Motors headquarters.

About 100 members of the association are expected to gather in front of Detroit’s Renaissance Center, the world headquarters of GM, to protest the salaried retiree’s treatment by the Obama administration. The demonstration, scheduled to take place between 12 and 2 p.m., will coincide with the president’s visit to Detroit.

A group of about 10 to 20 Delphi salaried retirees from the Warren area will join the protest, said Bruce Gump, spokesman for the local branch of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association.

The demonstrations will be peaceful, Gump added.

“Nobody is going to block anything,” he said. “They just want to make the point that the president should be talking to us.”
