Hi-P says resolution reached with workers

Electronics firm Hi-P International said today it has reached a resolution with around 200 Chinese workers who recently went on strike over a planned plant relocation, reported Reuters.

Earlier this month, workers at Hi-P’s factory in Jinqiao in the eastern Yangtze River Delta, a major industrial region close to Shanghai, laid down their tools for a week.

The workers also lodged petitions demanding compensation and scuffled with police after blocking the shipment of heavy equipment.

Hi-P, which makes electronics products for Apple and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, said in a statement it has offered a relocation package of two months’ salary to all affected workers.
