A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
To urge the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury, the head of the President's Auto Task Force, the President of General Motors, and the President of the Delphi Corporation to treat all of the General Motors-Delphi retirees fairly and equitably and provide for the full earned pensions and other post employment benefits in the same manner for all groups.


BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):


       WHEREAS, In the General Motors-Delphi Corporation bankruptcy proceedings, which were guided by the United States Treasury and the President's Auto Task Force, all Delphi Corporation employee pension funds were transferred to the Federal Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation; and

       WHEREAS, The earned pensions of all Delphi retirees are part of their promised compensation; and

       WHEREAS, General Motors has agreed to "top up" the pension plans of the Delphi hourly employees represented by the United Auto Workers (UAW), the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine, and Furniture Workers-Communication Workers of America (IUE-CWA), and the United Steel Workers (USW); and

       WHEREAS, General Motors has not agreed to "top up" the pension plans of the Delphi salaried retirees and the Delphi hourly retirees represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE); and

       WHEREAS, Funds for the health care insurance promised as a retirement benefit have been provided for the UAW, totally eliminated for the Delphi salaried retirees, and greatly reduced for the IUE-CWA, the USW, the IBEW, the IAMAW, and the IUOE; and

       WHEREAS, This is unfair and inequitable treatment of the different working groups and will lead to thousands of job losses in the State of Ohio; and

       WHEREAS, the Delphi retirees all worked for the same company side-by-side for twenty, thirty, or even more than forty years; and

       WHEREAS, The Delphi retirees worked loyally, faithfully, and beneficially for General Motors and the Delphi Corporation; and

       WHEREAS, All of the Delphi retirees are equally deserving of their post-employment benefits; and

       WHEREAS, All of the Delphi retirees deserve equal treatment from their federal government; now therefore be it

       RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 128th General Assembly of the State of Ohio, hereby urge the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury, the head of the President's Auto Task Force, the President of General Motors, and the President of the Delphi Corporation to immediately remedy the injustice, treat all of the General Motors-Delphi retirees fairly and equitably, and provide for the full earned pensions and other post employment benefits in the same manner for all groups; and be it further

       RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury, the head of the President's Auto Task Force, the chief executive officers of General Motors and the Delphi Corporation, and the news media of Ohio.
