With GM wanting to have Reuters reports.

The European employee forum of General Motors says speculation on the future of GM’s European sites has damaged the image of Opel and Vauxhall:

“It is especially the case that employees in all European sites suffer insecurity from this speculation. Potential customers are furthermore made insecure in the already difficult economic environment.”

Workers’ representatives have asked the boards of GM and Opel for discussions, but talks were rejected, the statement says.

    Europe's economy is tanking. Every week of sales data gives GM more leverage.

    Legal consultants will be dealing on behalf of management. My guess restructuring involving layoffs after strikes or lockouts.

    How does Opel/Vauxhall maintain marketshare against the rest of the Germans with NO support from Detroit? Or access to NA markets? THEY DONT. IE Saab. FUGM
