With President Joe Biden stopping in Cleveland Wednesday to tout a pension bailout for around two million union workers, the Chairman of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association continues to ask the question, why not us?

"All we want is to be treated fairly in this situation by our government," Bruce Gump said.

Gump and the Delphi Salaried Retirees Assocation have been fighting for 13 years to get around 20,000 pensions restored after they were terminated following GM's bankruptcy in 2009. They filed lawsuits and took their case to the Ohio Supreme Court, which denied hearing it.

Gump says he has no objection to those two million workers getting having their pensions saved from massive cuts, but he's tired of being forgotten.

"What we do have an objection to is to being constantly left out just because we weren't in the union," Gump said. "So, that's not insulting to us, what it is, is kind of disgusting quite honestly because there is about 90 percent of the American workforce is non-union and here's the President working so hard for the folks who needed in the unions but not working so hard for the 90 percent who are working just as hard, doing just as much, contributing just as much and yet being left out. That's just wrong, it's been wrong for 13 years."

Gump says the money is there, this is not a financial issue.

"All that is required to take care of the salaried group is 0.8% of what he is providing for the union workers," Gump said. "Yeah, we only have 20,000 and they've got 2 million but do the math on that and quite honestly it really isn't much different in cost. Furthermore, our pension plan was actually quite well funded so we do not see this as a bailout of our pension plan as the unions, they definitely needed a bailout, there pension plans were poorly run and there were some assumptions made that didn't pan out over long term so they were in serious trouble through no fault of their own. Our plan though was actually quite well run."

Gump says union or salaried, it shouldn't make a difference and the government should pay them what they rightfully earned.

"It was the government's actions that caused our plan to be terminated and not topped up, not because of something anybody else did, it was because of the government actions that makes our situation very unique," Gump said. "It is not something that anybody else can really claim. We were specifically determined to not have any ability to fight back and so they didn't want to do anything for us."

Gump is still holding out hope that legislative action will get their pensions restored. The Susan Muffley Act was introduced in both the House and Senate earlier this year and would make full those pensions if passed. 21 News also asked a White House official about the status of President Biden's efforts to get Delphi retirees pensions restored and he was unsure, but would look into it.
