so how does he define "low labor risks"?

probably weak unions and protections as usual?

The article doesn't say it, but probably a combination of:

  • Low risk of strikes
  • Relatively low cost of labor
  • Availability of skilled employees

My guess is that this means that if they are going to produce in europe, they might settle down in slovakia, czech republic or poland.
