While on a visit to promote business and economic ties with Japan , British Business Secretary Peter Mandelson granted an interview. He stated that he was ready to discuss support for Vauxhall with parent Opel's likely new owners, Magna International Inc. He revealed that Magna representatives were expected in Britain this week. Due to fears that the takeover would result to the loss of at least 1,000 jobs, the union Unite has called for talks. Union Unite represents Vauxhall workers, says Autonews. At stake is the future of the two British plants -- at Luton in southern England and Ellesmere Port in the northwest. Mandelson said that he hopes Magna's co-CEO Siegfried Wolf will have "good discussions with union leaders."
