Delphi layoffs

It is day two of the nationwide strike against General Motors and News 8 Now has learned the strike is having an impact with the Delphi workforce in Rochester.

Delphi makes parts for GM and some workers were laid off Tuesday morning. We're told the layoffs are short-term and will be re-evaluated next week. There's no word on the number of layoffs, but News 8's Dave McKinley is at the plant and will have an update tonight at five.

Meantime, at GM, while thousands man the picket lines, negotiators are scheduled to resume talks.  The 73,000 striking workers want gm to promise that future cars and trucks will be built at U.S. plants, preserving union jobs.

The workers walked away from about 80 plants on Monday, the first nationwide strike against GM since 1970. Besides job security, health care and pension benefits are issues that still need to be resolved.  GM says it is committed to working with the UAW to settle the strike, but says the future of the company is at stake. Right now, the company has plenty of cars to sell, however a prolonged strike would cost the company billions.
