Delphi outlines ‘ruthless’ makeover

Leave a reply

Delphi Corp. is studying a sweeping plan to remake its Electronics & Safety division by shedding U.S. factories — including its massive Flint East facility — shutting technical centers and possibly buying rival Motorola Corp.’s automotive unit, according to an internal company document.

Delphi expects to move away from its heavy reliance on business from General Motors Corp – GM currently accounts for 45.5% of Delphi’s business. Delphi also wants worker wage cuts to $9 an hour, down from $27 today, and it would require workers pay more for health care and give Delphi power to close plants at will.

Profit at Sony Drops 47%; Sales Are Flat for Quarter

Leave a reply

Sony reported a 47 percent slide in quarterly profit on Thursday, as sales of television sets and Walkman music players fell and its Hollywood studio failed to produce any big hits. Sony would have reported a loss were it not for a one-time gain equivalent to $637 million. The gain resulted from the transfer of part of the company’s employee pension plan to the government. Sony also expects to see a loss of approximately $87 million for the fiscal year ending in March. It would be the company’s first annual loss in more than a decade.

After Storms, Red Cross Takes Loans – New York Times

Leave a reply

Confronted with unprecedented needs that emerged after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the American Red Cross has been forced for the first time in its 124-year history to borrow a large sum of money to complete its disaster relief work. The Red Cross set a $2.3 billion fund-raising goal in the aftermath of the two hurricanes, more than twice the amount it raised after the Sept. 11 attacks, but so far, the organization has raised just $1.3 billion. It says an additional $500 million or so is still on the way.
