| Abstract: | This article investigates the development of work models in the Central Eastern European (CEE) car industry. It is argued that the work models in CEE didn't take the low-road trajectory but instead, a limited high-road model emerged in the 1990s. In the context of labour shortages after the accession to the EU of the CEEs, companies encountered recruitment problems and labour conflicts, which threatened to destabilise this model. The first reactions of companies were the strengthening of the high-road orientation, but the development remains unstable, because of the economic crisis begun in 2009. |
