A THREE-DAY strike by workers at a car parts plant in Guangdong Province that is owned by Japan's Denso Corp ended on Wednesday, a worker representative said yesterday.
Zeng Qinghong, general manager of Guangzhou Automobile Group, had persuaded worker representatives to return to work as the strike had affected production, a worker surnamed Cheng said.
"Twenty representatives will negotiate with the company (this afternoon) and we will see what happens," said a worker surnamed Zhang.
More than 1,000 of the 1,200 workers went on strike on Monday, demanding a pay rise of 800 yuan (US$117) to 1,000 yuan per month. They currently make 1,300 yuan a month.
The workers were still demanding the increase yesterday although their demands regarding benefits have not been finalized, Zhang said.
"If our requirements cannot be met, we will continue our strike," said Cheng, a driver of the company.
Denso Corp, established in 2004, is in Nansha District of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province.
It mainly produces engine and chassis control systems, filters and horns for Honda, Toyota and other Japanese car makers.
The strike caused two assembly plants of Guangqi Honda, a joint venture between Guangzhou Automobile Group and Honda Motor Co, to halt production.
The workers said strikes at the Honda and Toyota auto parts factories in Guangdong and Tianjin had inspired them to take similar action.
The first Honda-related strike happened at Foshan Nanhai Honda Auto Parts Manufacturing Company in Guangdong Province from May 17 to June 1, and the second at Foshan Fengfu Autoparts Co Ltd in Guangdong from June 7 to 9. A third occurred at Honda Lock (Guangdong) Co from June 9 to 15.
Workers at Tianjin Xingguang Plastic Factory held a strike on June 15.
All strikes ended with a pay rise.
