U.S. Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.)SAGINAW, MI (WNEM) -
Congressman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) called on Obama administration officials to detail its involvement in the termination of pensions for certain employees of the now-bankrupt Delphi.
A news report by The Daily Caller claims that emails show the U.S. Treasury Department was the main instigator behind the termination of 20,000 salaried retiree pensions at Delphi.
A significant number of those who lost pensions live in Camp's congressional district.
"Delphi employees deserve answers as to why their pension benefits were terminated, while some of their co-workers were not," said Camp. "These men and women worked hard to earn their full pensions, and it looks like they may have been cut out by the Obama administration."
Camp requested that the Obama administration officials provide all records, including but not limited to electronic mail to or from Treasury and the PBGC, the Executive Office of the President of the United States, and the Departments of Labor and Commerce that relate to Delphi and General Motors' interest in Delphi.
"The arbitrary nature of these decisions has raised serious concerns about the government picking winners and losers in Delphi's bankruptcy. We need answers," said Camp.
Camp demanded that all materials pertaining to the request are to be submitted to him no later than Sept. 7, 2012.
