Wal-Mart relocation row ends

SHENZHEN: Wal-Mart China has settled a dispute with employees by making "big revisions" to its redeployment program.

The changes will impact around 2,000 mid-level managers around the country according to the Shenzhen Federation of Trade Unions.

The federation became involved after trade unions representing Wal-Mart workers reported on April 11 that senior management at the US-based retailer planned to relocate some mid-level managers to new stores in other Chinese cities under threat of demotion or even dismissal.
