Exclusive Benefit Plan – dumped pension plan

Rita never worked for Delphi but her pension is coming from Delphi

Approximately September 2005 –

-         Rita received letters from Delphi stating that her pension was in jeopardy

-         Called Pat Meyer and asked how could pension be in jeopardy when she never worked for Delphi

-         The two decided that they would check with a lawyer

October 2005

-         On October 5, 2005 L.A.W.S., Inc. went to Congressman George Miller’s CA office in Washington to

meet with Attorney Jody Calamine and told him that Delphi would

bankrupt on October 8, 2005.

-         L.A.W.S., Inc. had been working with Jody Calamine for a year asking that CEO Rick Wagoner

be brought before Congress.

-         On October 8, 2007 Delphi declared bankruptcy

December 2005

-         Rita’s widow’s Christmas check from General Motors, a negotiated Christmas bonus for

General Motors blue collar workers, was shorted. She has only received ____ . It was not until February
of 2006 that the mistake was rectified.

February 2006

-         At Jody Calamine’s suggestion they went to the Department of Labor

-         An answer was promised in a few days. No answer was ever given.

-         It was decided to contact Senators Levin and Stabenow and ask them for help with these situations

-         Both Stabenow and Levin have never responded to this

    situation or any other GM/Delphi situations presented to them.

March 2006

-   They met with Congressman David Camp who said that he had not been able to look at the

information but would check with General Motors and get back to Rita.

-         He later wrote to Rita that he was unable to get her employment records.

-         Rita eventually paid for her Social Security records that showed her work history.

April 2006

-         Took story to the FBI in Saginaw because they thought that there was criminal misconduct

on the part of General Motors and Delphi.

   

May 2006

-         After no response from the FBI Pat Meyer and Morrie Henry,

her brother and a blue-collar worker, took Rita’s information about the pension fund and their

concerns about the legality of the tax-free spin-off to the FBI in Washington to Audra Jolicoeur 859-288-4724.

-         After 4 months sent by they then visited the office of the

Detroit FBI office and brought proof including the Delphi Prospectus and the pension letters.

2007

-         Throughout 2007 we decided to make the public aware of the tax-free spin-off and Rita’s pension fears.

-         We went outside the State of Michigan to ask for help meeting with Senator Dorgan’s staff member

         and several others.

-         We could feel a cover-up in action. No help was given.

     Senator Dorgan questioned as to why we were not working with our Michigan people.

March 2007

-         A lawyer used by L.A.W.S. suggested that it was a good idea to check the IRS.

-         Pat Meyer took this information to the IRS and became a

Whistleblower.

    -   The question is who is giving Delphi the money to pay for the pensions for the people who never

        worked for Delphi?

-       The IRS said that they could neither admit of deny or share any information about the investigation.

          Naturally she was frustrated.

   

December 2007

-         Rita and Pat called the Detroit FBI and were told by Agent

Hoppe that the FBI had dropped the Delphi case. The Securities Exchange Commission ordered no further

fining of Delphi for cooking their books.

-         After receiving this information we felt that every Federal agency was covering up.

January 2008

-         It was then decided to continue reporting to the Tax

    Advocacy Office to Attorney Laura Baek.

-         Floyd Williams, Legislative Ambassador to the IRS, was also contacted about the admit or deny ruling.

January to March 2008

-         Pat made the decision that it was time to get the story out so the decision was made to write the

          book “Dispute This”.

-         Approximately 2 months ago Pat contacted Jennifer Dixon and took information to her at the Traveler’s Building.

-         2 weeks ago Jennifer asked Pat to call Jamie Butters. He said 
that if the story was verified Rita would be contacted.

-         We could not meet with you last week because you were in Traverse City.
