GM to cut about 9,000 Opel jobs in Europe

BERLIN -- General Motors is to reduce its Opel workforce in Europe by about 9,000, the U.S. car company's new chief executive for Europe, Nick Reilly, said Wednesday in Germany on a tour to meet political and labor leaders. The company aimed to cut manufacturing capacity by 20 percent, said Reilly three weeks after GM called off plans to sell its Opel division to a parts company, Magna. Sources said Germany would bear the brunt, with a total of 5,300 jobs to be eliminated, but Belgium would also lose 2,000 jobs.
