Nova Knits Inc decided to pay more than $500,000 as compensation to its employees, announced Chinese Progressive Association, which supported the workers discharged temporarily.

Employees, mostly comprised Chinese middle-aged women, marched through downtown San Francisco last year to protest against garment job losses.

They also complained that their jobs were outsourced to China.
