Workers Back on Job at Former Danone Facility as Negotiations Continue

(Beijing) — Workers at a bottled-water plant formerly owned by Danone SA have returned to work after two weeks of protest against the sale of the subsidiary on the condition that the new corporate owner will continue negotiations on their contracts.

Employees at the Guangzhou plant of Robust Co. Ltd. suspended work or slowed production in early November after learning that their factory was being sold to a local buyer.
