High Stakes Opel Poker: GM Kicks In 1.9b, Wants To See 1.8b In Aid
The New, EU Compliant, Jobs-For-Money Plan. By GM
GM’s new European Viceroy, Nick Reilly, surprised and astonished the participants of a Saturday conference call by saying that German aid, or no German aid to Opel, “it won’t make any difference to our restructuring plan, so it will not lead to more layoffs in Germany or less layoffs.”
Now what’s that all about? Wasn’t the line before “you either pay us, or you pay unemployment benefits, anyway, you’ll pay?”
Opel's Tech Center Fire-Proof
GM (probably with a little prodding from their buddies and new Chinese overlords at SAIC) realizes where the real value at Opel is: At the Opel Engineering Center in Rüsselsheim.
After yesterday’s press conference in which he had announced the ties with a stronger SAIC in China and India, Reilly spoke to 9,000 employees at Opel’s Rüsselsheim headquarters, Reuters reports.
The good news: 548 engineering jobs at the engineering center, formerly slated to be eliminated, will stay. The bad news?
