PSA Group’s Opel unit has reached a labor agreement at its big assembly plant in Zaragoza, Spain, that is expected to ensure the factory will build the next-generation Corsa small car, Reuters reports.
Details about the settlement weren’t immediately available. But Reuters says local media reports that the deal covers five years and includes a wage freeze for 2018.
PSA claims the facility is less efficient than its two other Spanish plants in Madrid and Vigo. The French company had threatened earlier this month to cut investment at Zaragoza unless workers agreed to more flexible work rules.
Zaragoza makes the best-selling Corsa along with three crossover models: the C3 Aircross for PSA’s Citroen brand and the Crossland X and Mokka for Opel. Reuters says the facility, which ran at 80% of capacity last year, built 382,300 vehicles and employed 5,300 workers in 2017.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
