KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co has reached an agreement to settle a labour dispute at its Malaysian factory with migrant workers who alleged unpaid wages and benefits, the company and five former workers told Reuters.

The total settlement amount exceeded the original claim of around RM5 million, said the workers’ lawyer Chandra Segaran Rajandran, though he declined to go into specifics, citing a non-disclosure agreement. The industrial court had ordered Goodyear to pay back wages to some workers and comply with a collective agreement over compensation. Goodyear had appealed the verdict but later began settlement talks.

Its Malaysian unit has also parted ways with a vendor and a human resources manager involved in the matter, and strengthened its vendor evaluation process to ensure compliance with its values and policies, Goodyear added.
