Delphi CEO Steve Miller on Future of Auto Industry |
|||||
| April 3, 2006 -- The Detroit Economic Club hosted Steve Miller, chairman and CEO, Delphi Corporation, a world leader in mobile electronics, transportation components and systems technology. Miller addressed the challenges of corporate turnarounds and transformations, specifically focusing on Delphi's bankruptcy strategy and its recent court filings to void its labor agreements. "Despite the negative views expressed by some, we see the filings as a means to keep the process going. Think of it more as an insurance policy," Miller said. "It’s something you need to have but hope you’ll never use. Our duty as the management and the Board of Directors at Delphi is to protect the value of the estate. That requires that we take the steps necessary to halt the losses we are continuing to incur, amounting to more than a billion dollars in losses just since October." Miller remained optimistic that Delphi would reach an agreement with its unions in order to avert a crippling strike. "We've got a couple of months to work things out. That’s plenty of time if everyone continues with the same good, constructive spirit, as we have seen in these past few months. And even if that time runs out, and even if we get a court ruling permitting us to reject our labor contract, there is no mandate for us to act unilaterally. We would assess the situation at that time, and continue to seek a consensual resolution if we believe such an outcome is achievable," Miller said. | ||||||
Globalization
a Key Subject at DEC |
||||||
|
Globalization is changing the face of Detroit, Michigan,
the United States and the world. As global trade intensifies, there
will be ups and downs for the U.S. economy. To minimize pain and maximize
the upside potential of world trade, being informed is key. That is why
the Detroit Economic Club has been featuring key knowledge leaders in the
area of global trade. This spring, the DEC hosted U.S. Steel Chairman
and CEO John Surma, U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, JPMorgan
Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Delphi Chairman and CEO Steve Miller. Still to
come are U.S. Senator Carl Levin and Starbucks Chairman and Chief Global
Strategist Howard Schultz. In the new era of globalization, Francis Bacon's famous maxim, "knowledge is power," is perhaps more true than ever. Arm yourself for success by attending any of our upcoming global trade-themed meetings. I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting. All the best, Beth |
