Delphi GM buyouts shrink UAW workforce at Delphi plant
UAW Local 2151 president Robert Betts reports 470 of 560 Delphi plant workers in Coopersville signed up for a $35,000 early retirement offer. Delphi and GM push attrition to cut labor costs, with GM targeting 30,000 hourly departures by 2008. Delphi buyouts exceed 9,000, GM above 28,000. Betts warns the second offer for remaining workers may cause major disruption.
