Surprise, surprise: UAW not down with the plan to renew the exec bonus plan
Not surprisingly, the United Auto Workers have taken issue with a bonus plan proposed for Delphi's executive management, saying that if the bonuses were to pass, it would ruffle some feathers as the two parties proceed with negotiations. The plan, which Delphi successfully petitioned the judge for in the first half of 2006, is in place to keep compensation at a level necessary to retain the best talent at the executive level, the company says. UAW workers don't agree, and as such, have filed objections with the court.
