The company planned to cut 690 employees and the union had staged several strikes since 25 June to demand an increase in wages and better working conditions, a company spokesman told Dow Jones.
The strikes, both partial and full-time, resulted in production losses worth KRW120bn for the country’s second-largest tiremaker by sales, he said.
On Monday, Kumho’s plants at Pyeongtaek, Gwangju and Gokseong resumed operations as the strikes ended.
