Opel deal crash: Rage as GM plans 10,000 job cuts

General Motors has confirmed that it will cut ten thousand jobs across Europe at its Opel unit. Workers in Germany say they will protest the decision. This comes a day after GM abandoned plans to sell Opel to a consortium of Canadian firm Magna and Russia's Sberbank.

There is no problems about this here in Russia. This deal lost all it's meaning just when GM said that there would be no technologies import to VAZ. The only reason for Sberbank to continue this deal was 'not to lose it's word' to Germany and GM's workers.

America has acted as a cheap whore again. It isn't polite and it's not fair at all. ='(

PS: Sorry 4 my English =( I know, it' bad =(

Uhhhm..if Germany is so unproductive...well..how come that the German economy is so much more powerful than the british one..we still make things in Germany..unlike the Brits who don't even have an own car industry anymore.

Germany is the second largest exporter after China, bigger than US and Japan and fourth largest economy in the world.....just something to think about...

Wow really people? Germany is about a MILLION times less efficient than the UK plants because of unions, labor laws, and social beliefs. Not to mention MUCH more expensive. This was bound to happen- bite the hand that feeds you and you will get punished.

MOOnLight2k,

No need to be sorry, your English was brutally accurate. But please place responsibility squarely where it belongs: President Obama runs GM, not Americans.

It`s simply a shame. I am happy Germany cooperates with the UK, Russia, China and France. It´s time the change the to future asian market.

Russian chicanery over gas? Funny.

[SvrchovaneCechy]

Anglos proved it once again - they can not be trusted under any circumstance, no matter how many papers they signed. Of course it is political move to publicly hurt and lesson Russia. NWO banking scum after robbing trillions from American taxpayer and rest of the world is biting again. No matter what, they will never get Russia. Their empire of lies is going to collapse soon.

Will never buy a GM car! (they are all ugly)

yeah, amurka is a stupid whore. They will sacrifice 10000 jobs to add to their unemployment just not to give out any 'secrets' to Russia. At least we'll cooperate with Germany, France and Japan.
