About half of the 1,000 IBM workers who staged a strike in early March in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong Province, have left the company, the Beijing News reported on Thursday.
Some 1,000 workers protested the terms of their upcoming transfer to Lenovo, after the world's No.1 PC manufacturer announced plans to take over IBM's x86 low-end service segment for $2.3 billion.
Twenty strike leaders were dismissed by IBM plant management without any compensation.
Around 500 workers have chosen to leave the plant with a severance package.
