Foxconn Technology Group workers returned to the assembly line in Zhengzhou, China, that makes Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPhone 5 after walking off their jobs yesterday, advocacy group China Labor Watch said.

A dispute occurred between the production and quality teams at the factory and that was resolved by yesterday afternoon, Simon Hsing, a spokesman for Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Foxconn’s flagship unit, said in a phone interview.

“Three to four thousand” production employees walked off the job at the plant yesterday, and they returned to work today after the management said they’d be fired for a failure to turn up, Executive Director Li Qiang said.
