A deal will likely be struck on the future of General Motors
Corp.'s (GM) German Adam Opel AG unit at a summit later Friday,
North Rhine-Westphalia state governor Juergen Ruettgers said.
"I expect that we will get a result today," Ruettgers said.
Ruettgers, however, criticized the behavior of GM at a summit
Wednesday, saying it was "unacceptable."
He said if the negotiations for Opel fail the workers of the
German carmaker have the right to call for management to take
personal responsibility for the consequences.
