Delphi salaried retirees say fight for lost pensions is far from over
FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) – It is case closed for a long legal battle for former Delphi salaried workers who've spent more than a decade fighting for their pensions.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently denied the retirees' request that the justices review their case, meaning the termination of the pension benefits will stand.
“Michigan's really gotten whacked and these withheld pension dollars are really dollars that really should go in the pockets of people who live in, in the Saginaw Flint area, to use in their retirement right to get them through the stage of life,” Ron Bieber, board member with the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association said.
Bieber worked for GM and Delphi for 40 years. He saw his pension cut during the General Motors bankruptcy in 2009.
Since then the pension plan has been under the government run Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Thirteen years later and he's still advocating to get those earned wages back.
“You put in a lot of time you don't get compensated and you do that because you're told this is what your compensation is going to be in this or what your benefits are going to be,” Bieber said. “It's important to us because we feel we earned it.”
Some plan participants lost as much as 70% of their pensions, according to court documents.
While the lawsuit may have hit its final wall, Bieber hopes to find more support on other fronts, including Congress. He already is gaining support from Congressman Dan Kildee of Flint.
“Now it's really time for people to really try to push this legislation, but then the tough job comes,” Bieber said. “But it's a realistic chance of happening to get folks to support it and to pass it.”
The Delphi Salaried Retirees Association said after the ruling that the heart of this lawsuit was that the PBGC would be held accountable according to the law. The association won't give up until the pension plan is operated as though it had never been terminated.
Kildee's office plans to present legislation that would provide some sort of relief for the affected Delphi pensioners within the next month.
