Detroit – General Motors Corp. is seeking a spot on Delphi Corp.’s creditors committee, saying its interests aren’t being represented by the current committee as Delphi reorganizes in bankruptcy court.
GM filed its request Friday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The court has scheduled a hearing March 9 to consider the request.
GM spun off Delphi in 1999 and remains the auto supplier’s largest customer. Delphi filed for bankruptcy protection in October.
Delphi’s creditors committee has seven voting members. The committee has the right to review confidential financial information and help formulate Delphi’s reorganization plan.
GM asked to be part of the creditors committee in October but was rejected, along with the United Auto Workers and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., the government body that ensures pensions.
In January, a bankruptcy trustee allowed the UAW and the PBGC to become nonvoting members of the committee.
