Opel plans 700 new jobs in Poland for new Astra model
19/02/2010
General Motors' (GM) European car unit Opel will create up to 700 jobs this year to produce its new Astra IV model at its factory in Poland. The plant will operate 24 hours a day, going from two shifts, to three. An Opel spokes person has said that this has been planned for a long time, and we should expect this to be in operation by the middle of the year.
The move may help GM secure billions of euros in loans to help Opel return to profitability.
