90 days ago, then President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing his cabinet to make recommendations to restore the Delphi Salaried Retirees' pensions.

That time is up and a new President is in office so... "what now?"

Delphi salaried workers pensions were eliminated in 2009 when the Obama administration orchestrated the General Motors bail out.

Since that time the fight to restore those pensions has been ongoing.
One of those workers, Bruce Gump, says right now the matter lies in the 6th District appellate court and whichever way they rule it will likely go to the U.S. Supreme court.
But he hopes President Biden will do what Trump administration was making a move to do.

"If the appellate court rules in our favor the Biden administration will tell the PBGC enough is enough, let's stop fighting this and give them back their pensions," said Gump.

When 21 News spoke with President Biden some time ago he did tell us he would commit to making their pensions a priority.
Gump says since the white house appoints the government's Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, the President could just make it happen.

If not, Congressman Tim Ryan hopes for a legislative solution.

"We want to do a comprehensive bill or bills that takes care of people's pensions and included in that we are going to fight really hard to make sure those Delphi salaried are included in that," said Rep. Ryan.

Ryan thinks that could be done this year.

But after 12 years, Gump hopes Biden makes good on his promise to the Delphi workers and doesn't lead like the Obama did in the matter.

"They felt we were too small and too weak to fight back so that's how that administration chose to govern. If you were big enough to fight back they would take care of you if you were too small well, so much for taking care of the little guy," added Gump.
