Opel Labor Leader: Abandoning Opel Means Abandoning Europe

Opel's German unions want a deal  with management before Christmas,  Opel works council Chairman Wolfgang Schaefer-Klug told Reuters in an interview. Here the cliff notes:

  • Does not believe in Ford-style closures, expects the cuts to be "far milder."
  • Says Opel management is not looking to close any other German plant than Bochum.
  • Offers to shorten work week to cushion downturn.
  • Mokka should be built in Europe regardless of Korean impact.
  • Says GM board members that see Opel as dead weight are not in majority.
  • Says if GM gives up Opel, it will give up Europe.
