TROY, Mich., March 27 (UPI) -- The head of Michigan-based Delphi Corp. wants the United Auto Workers to accept proposed wage and benefit cuts by Friday.
Steve Miller says that if the UAW and Delphi don't have a negotiated deal by Friday, he will file a motion in bankruptcy court to eliminate union contracts, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The company is believed to be offering approximately $17.50 per hour, down some 37 percent from a current average wage of $27 an hour, said David Cole, director of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, who based his estimate on the two-tier wage structure that the supplier and the UAW negotiated in 2003.
UAW local presidents were to receive copies of Delphi's proposal Monday and then gather in Detroit for a meeting Tuesday.
