German carmaker blames job cuts on UK's Brexit vote

Opel Group bosses claim that the United Kingdom's decision to leave the EU is the reason it has been forced to slash working hours at two of its factories.

The German carmaker, which builds cars badged as Vauxhalls in the UK, said the cuts would affect employees at its factories in Eisenach and Russelsheim. It isn't certain how severe the cuts will be, saying it will wait to see how badly UK sales are affected.
