...Companies in Germany plan to hire as many as 300,000 workers this year, according to a survey of 28,000 firms by the DIHK industry and trade chambers group this month. Machine and electrical companies may add 80,000 jobs, the DIHK said.
Expansion by companies in Germany's southern regions may already be crimped by a shortage of skilled labor. A January IHK industry and trade chamber poll of 3,800 companies in Bavaria showed that some 41 percent of local companies were failing to recruit skilled staff.
In January, the Labor Agency announced a 10-point plan through to 2025 to reduce shortages of skilled labor as regional offices reported 374,000 vacancies in technology as well as health and service sectors such as hotels and catering.

You still think it is your decision if they will attack you and declare you their enemy?
Wrong!
The more weaker/appeasing you act, the more infighting there is between us Westerners (Europe+US) the more appealing we become for them as easy target.
Make no error, we are the enemy for them because we exist, because of our way of living and our values.
Short of changing all that WE ARE THE ENEMY! So or so..
To leave an natural ally alone in the vain, treacherous hope to not get attacked but rather avert possible attacks to an ally is so futile, cowardly and foremost useless, it boggles the mind!
It is not appeasement if one does not want to even go down that path.

The main battle took place at the Sirgune River and both sides had heavy losses. The Prussians took the bishop Christian and imprisoned him for several years.

You are wrong. It was an actual alliance between Christians and Pagans to defeat a Pagan Slavic tribe not the Pagan Old Prussian Balts.
Okay....maybe you will believe other sources:
In 1230, following the Golden Bull of Rimini, Grand Master Hermann von Salza and Duke Konrad I of Masovia launched the Prussian Crusade, a joint invasion of Prussia to Christianise the Baltic Old Prussians. The Order then created the independent Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights in the conquered territory, and subsequently conquered Courland, Livonia, and Estonia. The Dukes of Poland accused the Order of holding lands rightfully theirs.

I'm quite sure you mean the invitation of the polish King to the Teutonic Order to subjugate the pagan tribe of the Prussians, don't you.
(The beginning of a long and happy relationship!)
But Poland had been christianized by then...
At these times european pagans could choose between beheading, burning at the stake and/or drowning if they wanted to stay loyal to the old gods.
No alliances!
I seem to remember reading about an interesting incident which occurred before all the Western Slavs had been converted to Christianity. At the time German Christian forces had allied themselves with a Slavic tribe that was still Pagan in order to conquer a different Pagan Slavic tribe.

Germany and Poland have drawn closer as the EURO crisis hit over the last 24 months. Poland was among the first to extend its support to EU fund to save Greece. Warsaw and Berlin are both committed to economic austerity. The Polish constitution includes a debt limit, and the banking sector is subject to strict controls that largely prevented Poles, unlike the Hungarians and those in some Baltic states, from borrowing in foreign currencies.
"I am a fan of the European Union," says Wroclaw Mayor Dutkiewicz, who shares the sentiments of many Poles - a people who could very well be the biggest champions of the European idea on the continent. "We have managed to derive maximum benefits from our membership," says Dutkiewicz.
