David Reynolds, labor studies teacher at Wayne State University , says the imminent bankruptcy of Delphi is not surprising in light of their industry's non-union majority. \" Delphi has the problem of being in an industry that\'s 80 percent non-union,\" Reynolds says. And the lack of union presence is not isolated to foreign countries. \"People say a lot about China , but the issue can be a non-union parts plant in a neighboring suburb,\" he said. \"In a global economy, regions compete as much as countries.\"
