Vauxhall fears after car giants announce merger bbc.com
Fiat Chrysler and Vauxhall's owner, France's PSA, announce merger plans for a £40bn car giant.
The two sides say they have yet to finalize all the details, but the 50-50 merger is expected to provide significant cost savings.
That has raised concerns at Vauxhall, which employs 3,000 people in the UK, as it could be vulnerable to any restructuring.
Unions called for talks with France's PSA, which owns Peugeot and Citroen.
Fiat Chrysler, the Italian-US business behind Jeep, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati, has been looking for a big tie-up for years, believing that consolidation in the global industry is needed to cuts costs and overcapacity, and fund investment in electric vehicles.
