DETROIT (AP) - Some members of Delphi Corp.'s second-largest union have voted to authorize a strike if a bankruptcy judge decides to cancel the auto supplier's labor contracts, a union representative said Friday.
A local branch of the International Union of Electrical Workers-Communications Workers of America voted unanimously to authorize a strike, Local 755 Chairman Keith Bailey said. Local 755 represents 1,050 workers at a Delphi suspension parts plant in Kettering, Ohio.
"It's the first time the membership as a whole was heard, and it was heard unanimously that if you take 60 percent of my wages and you take my health care so I can't take care of my family and you take away my pension, we'll strike you," Bailey said. "How many people are going to care about Delphi when their homes are being foreclosed?"
