President Trump Pledges Support for Delphi Retiree Pension Restoration Plan
President Trump has pledged his support for a $1 billion proposal aimed at restoring pensions for salaried Delphi retirees. This commitment was made during an October 3 rally in Vandalia, following a private meeting with retirees whose pensions were cut after the auto parts manufacturer's 2009 bankruptcy. U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Dayton, who helped arrange the meeting, highlighted the 17-year struggle by these retirees, an issue affecting over 5,100 Ohioans. President Trump attributed the pension cuts to "problems caused by Barack Obama’s policies" and emphasized his administration's involvement in resolving the matter. The proposed restoration plan still requires approval from both chambers of Congress and President Trump’s signature to become law. U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, is also actively pushing for this measure.
