A vintage Opel car is seen at a solidarity festival for carmaker Opel in Bochum March 3, 2013. The restructuring of General Motors Co's Opel unit's German operations is expected to extend job guarantees by another two years to 2016 for all four German plants, which together employ around 20,000 workers. At the start of 2017 at the latest, however, assembly lines at the Bochum car plant will cease running and only some components and warehousing jobs will remain under the deal.
