How Many U.S. Hourly Employees does Delphi really have?A personal nit of mine are all the 'approximate' numbers that get voiced when referring to how many hourly people Delphi has, especially when those numbers fluctuate so greatly from one document to another, over 1,000 in some instances just for the IUE alone, and 700 for the UAW. Nearly 1,700 plus or minus sure would make a huge difference in expenses. So, I went in search of those wild numbers.
All the links are to official Court Documents or official Press Releases. I'll be adding to this when time allows. (Aug 20, 2006)

3,808 - Warren, Ohio March 2005 was 3877 = -69 less April 2006
1,419 - Kettering, Ohio March 2005 was 1127 = +292 more April 2006
1,255 - Moraine, Ohio March 2005 was 1151 = +104 more April 2006

166 - Anaheim, CA March 2005 was 110 = +56 more April 2006
8,514 IUE Total 8,015 Total Mar. '05 / additional +623 since then, only current plant losing was Warren~~~~~~~~~~
IF those additional +623 aren't eligible (unsure if they were, it'd depend when they were hired to make the cut for 1 year), then 8,514 -623 = 7,891 possibly eligible. If Delphi's August 18, 2006 Press Release of approx 7,500 eligible is close to correct, then that's missing 391 people (7891 -7500 = 391). And if all 8,514 were eligible, then that's missing 1,014 folks.
It'd be closer if the July 31, 2005 Monthly Operating Report of approx 7,900 is used, being off only 9 people, or 614 if all 8,514 were eligible. Using the Declarations from Butler and Sheehan on June 28th, 2006 of approx 8,000 eligible, the difference is around 109 folks, or 514 if all 8,514 were eligible.
Where the August 18th, 2006 Press Release came up with 7,500 is difficult to say, that's quite low and doesn't come close to the IUE's April 21st, 2006 breakdown.

Delphi estimates that only 20% of those eligible for the Buyout will elect it (page 10)~~~~~~~~~~
(Delphi ended up being way off in their estimates with those 'electing to participate'. Which by those above numbers comes out to around 2,504~3,257 electing, when approximately 6,300 actually did participate. Instead of having an estimate of 4,743~5,496 possibly staying, it ended up being only 1,200)
