Delphi 2009

Das sieht dann in der Praxis so aus. Der Staat schickt jeden Pensionär der bei Delphi gearbeitet hatte einen Brief zu. In dem Brief steht dann drin, dass jeder Fall individuell geprüft werde. Beträge bis 54000 Dollar per Anno werde sofort ohne Unterbrechung vom Staat bezahlt. Delphi ist von den Zahlungen nun entbunden. Für eine Gruppe von ehemaligen Mitarbeitern scheint dies nicht fair zu sein. Ich behaupte mal, besser wenig als nichts.

Government is now in charge of pensions

MID-MICHIGAN (WJRT) -- (08/27/09)--Thursday night, many Delphi workers were waiting and worrying as they get official notice that the government is now in charge of their pensions.

It'll mean a review by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and it could mean huge lifestyle changes for 70,000 Delphi workers and retirees.

The letter some received is preparing Delphi workers and retirees for the new adjustments. It says more information will come in a few weeks.

One retiree says this is not nearly enough time for what could mean hundreds of dollars less per month.

In July, the PBGC stepped in after Delphi and General Motors Corp. said it couldn't afford to run the pension plan.

"I always thought GM would pay Delphi our pension. So our pension was locked in. But that letter shows me I was wrong," Grosinsky said.

The letter says the government agency is reviewing individual cases, and there should be no interruption in payments.

But it does warn payments will be reduced if their yearly income exceeds the legal limit of $54,000, in some cases slashing what some worked their whole lives for.

"No, I don't think it's fair. We worked real hard for that," Grosinsky said.

Ich mache mir keine Sorgen und auch wenig Gedanken aktuell um Delphi. Einfach mal laufen lassen, denke ich und so handel ich auch. Erst ab Oktober erwarte ich wieder starke Kursbewegungen.
