6,300 workers at bankrupt auto parts supplier Delphi Corp. have accepted buyouts or retirement incentives to leave the company, Bloomberg reported Friday.
The workers, part of the International Union of Electronic Workers-Communications Workers of America, join about 12,600 members of the United Auto Workers who accepted buyouts in June.
Under the attrition program, IUE-CAW workers who agreed to buyouts or accepted retirement incentives are required to stop working by January 1, 2007, Bloomberg said.
Delphi is currently in talks with its unions as it seeks to reduce wages and close 21 of its 29 manufacturing facilities in the United States as part of its restructuring efforts, Bloomberg reported.
