posted in Car News Articles |
General Motors employees in Europe have taken to the streets in protests over proposed job cuts.
GM plans to cut around 26,000 jobs at its facilities in Europe, with a number of factories to be closed.
German employees rallied outside the Opel headquarters, supported by Germany’s vice-Chancellor Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who said that ‘this is about more than just Opel. It’s about the future of the car industry in Germany… It’s the backbone of our economy.’
