ELLESMERE Port's giant Vauxhall plant has been earmarked for job cuts as part of restructuring plans announced on Thursday. While company chiefs have flatly refused to put a figure on the likely number affected, a trade union says 340 face the axe. Parent firm General Motors' loss-making European division has confirmed it is to slash 12,000 jobs, with 10,000 of these going from Opel plants in Germany. The rest will be split between Ellesmere Port and sister sites in Belgium, Spain and Sweden.
