Delphi to lay off 180 in Rochester

(October 11, 2007) — Delphi Corp. intends to temporarily lay off about 180 Rochester-area workers next week.

“As schedules and volume fluctuate, we will alter our production staff,” spokesman Lindsey Williams said today from the company’s headquarters in Troy, Mich. “It’s a week-to-week layoff. It could last a week or several months.”

Delphi produces automotive parts and employs about 1,600 workers in Rochester and Henrietta.

A large portion of the company’s Rochester-area product line is for General Motors Corp., so the rise and fall of that company’s fortunes will have a significant effect on local workers until Delphi further expands its base of non-GM clients, Williams said.
