"Due to the deteriorating market situation in Europe, management of Adam Opel AG is negotiating with the works council and (labor union) IG Metall over shortened working hours in Ruesselsheim," the paper cited the spokesman as saying.

"A result of the negotiations is to be expected shortly," he added.

The paper cited company sources as saying Opel was also considering shortened working hours at its plant in Kaiserslautern - another of its four German production sites.
