Valley Delphi salaried retirees head to Michigan for hearing

WARREN — Delphi Corp. salaried retirees will continue the fight to restore their pensions in federal court Friday.

About 60 of the Mahoning Valley’s Delphi Salaried Retirees Association will join about 180 of their counterparts from across the country in Detroit for a preliminary hearing in their suit against the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

The lawsuit seeks to reverse the ruling of turning the Delphi salaried pension plan over to the PBGC. The case claims the agency improperly agreed to take over the salaried retirees’ pension plans during the federal government’s restructuring of General Motors last year, resulting in benefit cuts between 30 percent and 70 percent.
