Layoffs At Delphi

TROY, Mich.--Over the next three weeks more than 1,700 hourly employees at Delphi’s Michigan, New York and Ohio facilities will be temporary laid-off. It is not known when they will be called back.

“Delphi is moving quickly to adjust production to meet customer demand,” said J.T. Battenberg III, Delphi’s chairman, chief executive officer and president. “Overall customer schedules in the automotive industry are softening, and we are taking steps to prepare our company for reduced volumes and intensified economic and competitive pressure in the coming months. We continue to closely monitor customer schedules.”

Employee notification will occur during the week prior to the layoff.

Delphi employs some 54,000 hourly employees in the United States. It has about 216,000 employees worldwide and operates 184 wholly owned manufacturing sites, 44 joint ventures, 53 customer centers and sales offices and 31 technical centers in 40 countries.
