Shanghai, China -- More than 400 workers at Kumho Tire Co.'s plant in northeast China ended a three-day strike after the South Korean company agreed to raise wages, according to Automotive News China.
Quoting the Shanghai Daily newspaper, the publication said a Kumho official said workers at Kumho's plant in Changchun city in Jilin Province returned to work after the company agreed to raise wages at its four factories in mainland China.
