通用汽车与零件供应商德尔福分歧加大
GM loses court bid to hold up Delphi contracts hearing
 
汽车业巨头通用汽车(GM)曾向法庭提出，推迟就陷入困境的汽车零部件制造商德尔福(Delphi) 申请 废除其劳工 合同 召开的听证会，昨日该项努力宣告失败。
General Motors yesterday lost its court bid to postpone hearings on Delphi’s application to tear up its labour contracts.
 
通用汽车与德尔福之间在如何避免罢工、以免业务陷入瘫痪的问题上存在分歧，而上述决定加大了这一分歧。德尔福已要求，大幅度削减其3.4万名蓝领工人的薪金和福利，称这对于挽救其美国业务至关重要。
The decision widens the rift between the auto giant and the struggling parts maker over the best way to avert a crippling strike. Delphi has demanded deep wage and benefits cuts from its 34,000 blue-collar workers, saying they are essential to the survival of its US operations.
