First talks between European unions and delegates from General Motors and Magna begin next week over plans to cut 10,500 jobs at Opel in Europe, the bulk in Germany, to save labour costs in the hundreds of millions of euros. Chancellor Angela Merkel's government, worried about potential job losses before an election on Sept. 27, had openly backed Magna, promising 4.5 billion euros in state aid. Britain and Belgium urged the European Commission to ensure the takeover of Opel did not favour German workers. The banner reads in Spanish, "For the employment in Opel".
