Delphi Unions Approve New Contract
The United Auto Workers union says members nationwide have approved a new labor agreement with auto parts maker Delphi.
The ratification comes after two years of sometimes contentious negotiations and averts a threatened strike that would have crippled Delphi’s former parent, General Motors.
The U-A-W says 68 percent of the workers were in favor of the new four-year pact, while 32 percent were against it.
The deal includes workers in Dayton, Columbus and Sandusky in Ohio. Ohio has about six-thousand Delphi employees, including salaried workers and workers represented by other unions.
In Columbus, the ratification likely means closure of the 60-year-old Delphi plant on Georgesville Road. About 450 workers are currently employed at the facility.
