I live in Bratislava. Just like to point out some omissions/flaws in the article: 1. The strike was not about money, the negotiated increase was practically same as planned by VW. It was about work conditions, for example there is no air conditioning in the work halls and in the summer there is steady trickle of ambulance cars for people who collapsed from the heat(no exaggeration). I don't know whether these demands were met, so far looks like it was whitewashed by VW corporate PR "they want money!!!". 2. I doubt cost of living in Bratislava is so much lower than Wolfsburg. Rent and restaurant food might be somewhat cheaper, but everything else are the same prices in euro. E: And the flow of money in the EU is complicated discussion, but it's true that dividends extracted from eastern EU by western companies are several times the amount of cohesion funds flowing in the other direction.
