In a statement responding to Delphi’s October 21 contract proposal, which would effectively cut wages and benefits by around 60%, the UAW said:
“In light of Delphi CEO Steve Miller’s recent public comments, we were not surprised that Delphi’s proposal displays a total lack of concern about the impact it would have on Delphi workers, their families, their communities and our nation.
“Delphi’s proposal is designed to hasten the dismantling of America’s middle class by importing Third World wages to the United States.
“In short, the proposal faithfully reflects a vision of an America in which an elite few live in luxury while everyone else struggles to make ends meet.
“Maybe some believe the American Dream is over; the UAW rejects that dismal idea and will continue the struggle to fulfil that dream.”
