Еве зошто и покрај желбите и приказните со процесот на внес на 50 или 100 вакви компании, никогаш нема во Македонија да се качат платите на разумно ниво, зошто голем број луѓе одат да работат Италија, Грција, зошто се вадат блгарски пасоши и зошто младите немаат иднина овде..., а ако народ нема иднина, нема ни самата држава. Глобализацијата едносмерно му плака мамата на вакви сиромашни држави. И велите тоа е нормален процес?
Претходно споменаа, и 200 фирми да дојдат, нема да дадат поголеми плати туку ќе се отселат. Думајте сега за трето дете
Don't cry for Slovakia: Investors only obey logic
THERE is great irony in how companies, in their moves ever eastward to save a dime or two on cheaper labour and lower production costs, can connect people in remote places and make them consider each other's fate.
The truth is that Dräxlmaier simply did what most investors do. It found out that Romanians would work for less money than Slovaks, and made a rational business decision to go where costs were lowest.
Some say that the departure of Dräxlmaier shows that Slovakia, as the automotive capital of the region, is beginning to suffer from its economic focus on the automotive sector, and that investors will continue to move to cheaper countries once Slovakia becomes too expensive for them.
But it's not only foreign firms that are moving further east. Several Slovak firms have already moved their production to places where production costs are much lower.
The state says that it is moving mountains to find a substitute for Dräxlmaier for the Rimavská Sobota region. The local major also says that it is time for the region to stop crying over spilled milk, since there are still many investors who consider Slovakia a good place to invest, even if it is no longer the only investor paradise in Eastern Europe.

Lisa Draexlmaier’s employees at Romanian factory go on strike
The Romanian employees of the car cabling producer Lisa Draexlmaier Autopart, which runs a factory in Pitesti, Romania, recently went on strike, complaining about low salaries. Union leaders representing the 2,400 employees of the production unit who are currently on strike said the company does not respect the pledges made in the collective work contracts, which included an increase in salary paced with the rate of inflation, vouchers for holidays and a higher number of compensation salaries if employees are fired. The employees are waiting for the company’s management to join them in negotiations, said union leader Alexandru Sergiu Lincă.
The Pitesti factory had around 10,000 employees in 2007, but it axed some 6,000. Most of the strikers – some 80 percent – are women. The average salary in the factory is of some RON 1,100 – RON 1,200 net – the equivalent of EUR 266. The latest salary increase was at the beginning of the year, of RON 30 gross, according to the employees union.
The factory in Pitesti produces car cabling for BMW and Audi and sells components to Mercedes and Rolls Royce, among others. The company had a turnover of some EUR 70 million last year and a net profit of EUR 2 million. Lisa Draexlmaier also runs factories at Codlea, Hunedoara, Satu Mare and Timişoara in Romania.
Worldwide, the Draexlmaier group had a turnover of EUR 2 billion in 2011, and 40,000 employees.

International Companies Pay Macedonian Salaries
Victor Mizo, the Head of the Directorate for Technological Industrial Development Zones, refused to comment Dräxlmaier's ad offering a MKD 8,100 wage. However, concerning companies who have launched plants in the technological industrial zones, Mizo said their salaries were competitive in terms of those paid in the country. -
Newertheless, the Law on Technological Industrial Development Zones provides for many benefits to foreign investors in Macedonia. They are exempted from paying income tax for a period of 10 years, and are committed to pay only 50% revenue tax within a period of 5 years. The land is leased under a period up to 99 years, for the price of 1 EUR per square meter. They are also exempted from paying fees for a construction site development, which the Government pays in favor of the local authorities, as well as from remuneration for construction licenses, which is again on the national budget's expense. They do not pay VAT, nor customs fees on imported materials, nor turnover tax, but they can have free plugs to the pipeline, the water supply and the sewage network. According to the Law, the Government can participate in the costs for construction of the building in the zone, maximum up to EUR 500,000 in an investment of over €15 million with above 100 employments. Those who use the zone's benefits have the right to ask financial aid provided by the state, which can cover 25% - 50% of the costs for additional education and training of the employees, as well as the costs for their travel arrangements.
