Workers protest Delphi concession demands at Flint plant - 02/17/06

By Doug Cunningham

The UAW rank and file group Soldiers of Solidarity picketed a Flint, Michigan Delphi plant Thursday protesting the attack on workers wages and benefits under cover of the bankruptcy laws. Delphi worker Gregg Shotwell told Workers Independent News from the Flint picket line that the workers expect Delphi today to move in bankruptcy court to void its union contracts. Shotwell said that will kick a hornet's nest of increased worker resistance.

[Gregg Shotwell] : "This isn't a legitimate bankruptcy, it's a forced restructuring. It's a scam. That's what we're protesting. We're gonna continue the resistance. It's gonna come down to General Motors and the UAW. I think GM has more to lose than we do."
