Workers leave the Opel plant after shift change in Bochum early September 10, 2009. General Motors shook up its management and dispatched a negotiator on the sale of its Opel unit to Berlin after a watershed two-day board meeting under the direction of Chairman Ed Whitacre. GM's 13-member board endorsed the departure of GM's chief financial officer, a new marketing campaign aimed at winning back skeptical U.S. consumers and a still-sealed decision on Opel that will be conveyed to German officials on Thursday, the sources said.
