Romanian Strike Delays Upcoming PC Patch for Bad Company 2

The upcoming patch for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on the PC has been delayed due to strikes in Romania...
Romania is currently going through periods of instability caused by a major decline in their economy, which shrank by 7.1% in 2009. The country has been forced to make widespread cuts to public worker's wages. Currently, tens of thousands of Romanian public workers are on strike in a variety of public departments including health, education, public administration, and most importantly --transportation.
The transportation strike has left the Romanian QA team unable to get to work, and thus unable to test the patch.
According to associate producer Barrie Tingle (aka Bazajaytee), the Romania QA team is the designated studio for all of EA Europe.
Until the Romania QA team can get to work, it seems the patch will not be getting released.
