LABOUR DISPUTE SETTLED
Sone 180 workers of the Nam Jam Factory Limited in Sham Shui
Po today received a total of about $140,000 from the management as
severance pay.
The dispute broke out on August 15 and officers of the Labour
Relations Service of the Labour Department stepped in soon after direct
negotiation between the management and workers reached a deadlock.
Five conciliation meetings were subsequently held at the San
Po Kong office of the Labour Relations Service and agreement was finally
reached on August 24.
