BMW has offered to increase its full-time domestic workforce by 3,200 jobs by the end of next year to settle a long-running dispute with its unions over its widespread use of temporary workers.

Sources told Reuters that the deal is currently being finalised although the net number of new permanent jobs created at BMW over the next 18 months could still change from the 3,200 figure, but “it will be in that ballpark” according to the sources.
