1.22 Workers' Protest Day in the west German city Bochum
Unfortunately (some of) the demonstrators had not realized that there
may be a difference between the Finnish mobile phone maker (Nokia)
and the South Korean car maker (KIA)..^^
The background:
Two weeks ago Nokia announced plans to discontinue the production of mobile devices in Germany and close its Bochum site by mid-2008. About 2,300 workers will be dismissed. The complete production of mobile phones will be settled soon in Cluj/Romania, were the monthly wages will be only a tenth of the salaries, Nokia had to pay in Germany.
