Discord which tend to impair quality and affect car choice.....

The bickering between unionized workers of Delphi and Delphi's top management is ongoing albeit at a less harsher note. What is feared most is that those lengthy and heated discussion would eventually lead to strike - something that Delphi and its customers could ill afford at this juncture. A strike would cause serious repercussions not only to Delphi workers but also to its customers mainly GM (constitute about 50 % fo Delphi's sales revenues) and Toyota.

Sometimes I just paused to ponder at my workstation here in Malaysia ........... how could workers engrossed with the thought of job insecurity could graciously move along the production line and churn out defect free automotive parts. When loyalty to a company diminishes doesn't it shows on the quality of the product? I am pretty sure the customers (vehicle makers) have to exercise extra vigilance during this trying times to ensure that Delphi parts fitted into every model make the grade. As for the vehicle purchasers, shunning models that have a significant percentage of Delphi DNA in them is a wise move - at least until the house is back to orderly manner.
