Thursday night, President Trump tweeted that he signed an order supporting the workers of Delphi Corporation and wanted to protect their pensions. He said, "I ALWAYS put American workers FIRST."

The presidential memorandum directs Trump's cabinet to review the decades-long fight to get Delphi Salaried Retirees their pensions and come back to him with recommendations.

Chairman of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association Den Black said "this is the best news since this nightmare began 11 years ago!"

The move by the President comes less than two weeks before the presidential election.

"Was it political? I really don't care," said Bruce Gump with Delphi Salaried Retirees Association. "The fact of the matter is that there are families that have been harmed, there are communities that have been harmed, and the president is acting to correct that...thank you is the best I can say."

 "The work is not over but they have never had a President that said their pensions need to be restored," said Republican Congressman Mike Turner.

Turner has been among the bi-partisan support working in favor of these retirees. He said the timing by the president comes just shortly after this group lost a federal appeal.

"They would not be at this point had they not filed suit, and even though they were not successful in their court appeal, that pending litigation really brought this attention to the forefront and to the President of the United States," said Turner.

Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan, who has also been active in the fight, released this statement saying "I support any effort that will fix this egregious issue and stand ready to work with the Administration to help make Delphi salaried retirees whole, but they need action, not more reviews."

We asked Gump if he had concerns should Trump's presidency end this January.

"Reality is that there is no need for it to go clear into the next administration, even if it did however the process that would be started, it would be unwise to stop it because it applies to so many people," said Gump.

The president has requested a response from his cabinet within 90 days.
