After recently reaching a deal with workers at a transmission manufacturing plant, looks like Honda have more problems on the their hands.
Honda Motor said Tuesday that another parts factory in southern China has stopped production after many of its 600 workers went on strike, just days after the Japanese automaker agreed to raise salaries for Chinese employees who walked out at a transmission plant.
The factory supplies exhaust parts for Guangqi Honda, a joint car assembly venture between Honda and Guangzhou Automobile of China, Ms. Asanuma said. Production for Guangqi Honda hasn’t been affected so far, she said.
“The employees at the Foshan plant are continuing to strike,” Ms. Asanuma said. “There has been no effect on production at Guangqi Honda, but if the strike continues, that could change. We are keeping a close eye on the situation.”
