LOCKPORT, N.Y. -- Like a lot of people in town, Pam Mondello can feel the American dream slipping from her grasp.

Mondello, a 39-year-old plant worker, is worried about a big pay cut following the bankruptcy filing of Delphi Corp. last month. The auto parts supplier, as part of its reorganization, wants to slash the wages of thousands of factory workers around the country to as little as $9.50 an hour. Mondello, with bills to pay and three teenage children, is stunned that Delphi thinks it can get away with such a drastic cut.
