PSA Peugeot Citroen reached an agreement with the militant CGT union under which striking employees will return to work at the company's assembly plant in Aulnay, France.
Since the strike began in mid-January, the factory's output has been cut about 80% by disruptions caused by about 180 striking CGT members.
Five unions representing PSA's other workers in Aulnay agreed in April to accept the company's restructuring plan.
CGT says it has suspended the strike but has not ended it. The union adds that it still considers PSA's plan to shutter the facility next year to be "unacceptable and unjustified." Last month the company warned that it might close the plant this year because of the strike.
Under the new accord, PSA won't take disciplinary action against strikers and will compensate workers in the future for days when production is suspended. In return, CGT agreed to drop its lawsuit seeking to block the company's reorganization. A French court dismissed CGT's claims last month, but the union had said it would appeal.
