Today, a regular meeting of the Opel/Vauxhall European Employee Forum - a body which includes company management and employee representatives from all over Europe – took place in Rüsselsheim.
The EEF discussed a European framework agreement for the future of Opel/Vauxhall. The parties made good progress and during the next days, management and employee representatives will work towards a final agreement. At the same time, the meeting delegates will seek support from local unions and appropriate bodies in their home countries.
This framework agreement would then be implemented in the individual European countries by local Memorandi of Understanding which were also reviewed during the meeting.
At this point, details of the proposed agreement cannot be disclosed.
With respect to the future of the Antwerp plant, management and employee representatives are in final discussions. Last details are expected to be resolved shortly.
