Four Honda car plants set to resume work after strike

HONG KONG - Honda Motor Co said it will resume car production at four plants in China on Friday, but the outlook for next week remains uncertain as some workers at a parts factory have not yet agreed to a full return to work, media reported.

Japan's No 2 automaker suspended vehicle production in the world's biggest car market last week after employees at a 1,900-strong, wholly owned parts factory in Foshan, Guangdong province, refused to work until their demands for more pay and other conditions were met.

The parts factory reportedly resumed full production on Wednesday but part of the workforce agreed to return only until Friday, when they expect the company to respond to a list of unmet demands.
