Further Reducing of Jobs at GM

It is published in the media, that GM threaten once again with the reduction of jobs. Carl-Peter Forster, the Head of GM Europe, said last Thursday that at the brands Opel, Saab and Vauxhall jobs will become needless in the following years.

Forster said everything will depend on in which plant the new Astra generation would be built and it could be possible that people will lose their jobs. But it is not clear, where and how much. “The extreme solution would be a plant closure”, Forster said.

we must unite word wide. The U S is fighting GM's hard nose tactics everyday
Una de las diferencias que nos separa de los US, y que nos envidian, es la capacidad que nos hemos ganado de negociar.Eso significa claramente una ventaja pero no que las cosas hayan de ser más fáciles.
I can tell you the closure of Azambuja was a big hit for the workers but when I look what discussions aregoing on in the plant where I work GM Managment should think twice to try to do that again. Taken ´big bonus and closing plants that`s what GM Management is going to do. Loo´k what is going on in the US they are not able to have the right cars at the right time and the workers have to pay for that! Stay united at least in Europe!!
Inspite the battles on the closure of plants worldwide amongs the worker force,GM will keep on closing and building them as they see fit,as long as money talks louder.I whas once a GM worker,i´ve seen what they aim to do.
Let´s face it,whenever GM needs to close down a factory,they will,we saw what happned in Azambuja.
Its clearly that they are trying to make everybody so scared that they are afraid to strike or make other actions to prevend closing a plant . We ( all the workers of all plants in Europe ) need to stay alert and united to prevend this . Here ( Antwerp , Belgium )to , we fear that scenario , but we are ready to join the rest of Europe for actions that should be necessary to prevend any kind of this , anywhere in Europe .
