Fears for 5,000 Vauxhall jobs
Updated on 27 May 2009
There is to be no British involvement in the trust running the General Motors European arm, unions have announced, leading to fears for UK car-manufacturing jobs.
British workers at Vauxhall are anxiously waiting to hear about their futures as union leaders have said a German based trust will run General Motors European arm - with no British involvement.
It is understood the trust will separate the business from the rest of the US car-making giant which now looks set to file for bankruptcy.
The unions are demanding to know whether the British government has been doing enough to safeguard jobs here.
