Disaffected Delphi workers to rally against Obama for transparency, accountability


Published: 5:10 PM 09/05/2012

As a scandal develops surrounding the Obama administration’s termination of 20,000 non-union Delphi Corp. salaried retirees’ pensions, many of those disaffected workers plan to rally on Thursday in Dayton, Ohio.

At 10 a.m. at least 200 retirees who lost their pensions during the Obama administration’s auto bailout will join Ohio Republican Rep. Mike Turner at a rally outside a shuttered Delphi plant in Dayton to demand transparency from the Obama administration and accountability from government officials responsible for the decisions that led to their losses…

On Aug. 7, TheDC published internal PBGC emails showing senior White House and Treasury officials were behind the pension terminations.

Those emails demonstrate that Geithner and his Treasury Department were the driving force, and contradict sworn testimony in which several Obama administration figures have said that the decision to terminate the pensions came from the PBGC. (RELATED: Geithner, Treasury drove cutoff of non-union Delphi workers’ pensions)
