I think the UAW doesn't want to end up like the pilots / stewardess and mechanics from the airline industry. These people were point-blank drained of everything, while the execs got nice bonuses and raises for "stopping the bleeding and making the numbers". There were no sacrifices, no benefits lost on the exec; it was all on the workers, those that survived the lay-offs & down-sizings (or "right-sizing" as they later called it).
 
Yep, it's hard to accept a contract when you and your brothers and sisters are the only ones feeling the swords edge cutting into your standard of living.

Looks like they're going to get the bonuses to retain the executive braintrust.
 
More like brain-frt to me

Subprime home loan industry problems work to slow the parts maker's bankruptcy emergence.

It makes sense and shows the disconnect between the haves and have-nots. These "haves" at Delphi think they can just keep borrowing, borrowing and borrowing, while giving themselves pats on the back (a.k.a. fat wallets with bonuses) for "making the numbers".
 
Well surprise, surprise!! Just as you need good credit, steady background and the ability to jump through hoops to get a mortgage loan, you need to do the same to get emergence from bankruptcy. You can't rob Peter to pay Paul then go back and ask for more.
 
What's that, is that Nelson saying "Ha-ha"?!?!

You can say that again.
 
What do you think about GM and their supposed windfall in 2011 when they'll have a large number of eligible retirees? Talk is they're going to have another buyout then. With the current saving from the past buyout / retiring veterans they seem to be sitting ok; and with the future one in 2010 ~ 2011 they seem to be banking on being in good shape then.
 
I don't know.

It will be interesting to see. As bad as things are getting in the manufactoring sector of our economy I'm not beting on GM, to be selling record amount of cars here in the U.S. then.

Delphi tries to delay reorganization hearing by rockylee

NEW YORK -- Delphi Corp. said Monday it has asked a bankruptcy court to postpone a scheduled Nov. 8 hearing to consider amendments to its reorganization plan so the auto-parts maker can have more time to negotiate with creditors.
 
The Troy, Mich.-based company said it needs more time to hold talks with creditor committees, which on Friday filed objections to Delphi's disclosure statement and investment agreement amendment. Other stake holders also filed objections.
 
Delphi said it's unlikely all the conditions to the investment agreement will be met before the Nov. 8 hearing, and has asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan to reschedule the hearing for later this month. The court will consider the request on Thursday.
 
Delphi, which filed for bankruptcy two years ago, had planned to emerge from Chapter 11 by the end of the year but revised its timetable after changing the terms of its reorganization plan last week. The company was forced to make the changes after it hit trouble trying to obtain bankruptcy-exit financing in a tight credit market.
 
Delphi now expects emerge from Chapter 11 during the first quarter of 2008.

Supplier works with extra lenders to finance bankruptcy exit; initial investors still in place.
