...but unions at car maker planning strike on Tuesday over pay

However, the company is currently experiencing problems: trade unions at its plant in Mlada Boleslav are planning to go on strike on Tuesday, when work will cease for two and a half hours during three shifts. On Friday Skoda Auto management withdrew an offer of a 13-percent pay rise for employees, and returned to an earlier proposal to increase wages by 7.5 percent. Talks between the two sides are set to continue.
