GM has agreed to provide 7 years of credited service to hourly workers to allow them to retire early if Delphi cuts or terminates its pension plan. Here's the impact.

  • Thousands of additional hourly workers would be eligible for retirement.

  • Retirees would earn more and have better health care benefits than if they worked for the wages that Delphi is seeking as part of Chapter 11 negotiations.

  • Most of Delphi Corp.'s UAW employees may end up earning more by going fishing than by working for Steve Miller's cut-rate wages.
