Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Employment, Job Training
Mission: We seek the betterment of conditions of those engaged in the pursuits of labor. Our mission is to be a unifying force representing the needs of current and future delphi salaried retirees and their families by: being a reliable source of pertinent information; communicating and promoting issues that are relevent to the well being of its members; and supporting the development of local groups focused on personal involvement in national and local issues.
Programs: Communication: provided retirement/healthcare information to our membership. Illustrated how the termination of our pensions will affect all members. Provided information as to how the pbgc will interface with each member. We also maintain robust communications with our members via a public website and periodic e-blasts to members that convey audio and written updates as pension and health care developments warrant.
watchdog/legal/government affairs: we made steady progress in our lawsuit against the pension benefit guaranty corporation (pbgc), which we believe illegally terminated the delphi salaried pension plan in 2009. We continued to communicate developments to our members, who remain steadfast in their determination to support the legal effort to right this wrong.
membership representation: all bod and committee members work for the entire membership. Dsra has points of contact in all states of major membership to better provide communication. If a member has problems with the pbgc, we will run interference and resolve issues, so retirees will not experience a hardship situation. We have become experts in all pbgc rules, health care matters, survivor spouse benefits, pension matters, and severence payments. We also have been the voice of our retiree membership in communicating with members of congress the hardships that these pension and health care circumstances have had on us and our families.
