The agreement was signed by the two parties early on Friday, in the presence of the labour department officials, said S.S. Chaudhary, vice-president (HR) of Rico Auto.

The company agreed to take back eight of the 16 suspended employees on duty after they tendered a written assurance.

One employee will be taken back after a month. The case of the remaining seven suspended employees will be considered after an in-house inquiry by a retired judicial magistrate.

Employees’ Union president Prem Kumar said the strike had been called off after the agreement with the management and the striking workers.
