The Canadian Auto Workers have reached a tentative agreement with Lear Whitby.
On Saturday, 400 workers set up picket lines at midnight after contract talks collapsed.
The two-day strike forced the shutdown of operations at the General Motors plant in Oshawa.
The two sides began negotiations in August but they were suspended due to contact talks with the Detroit Three.
Ratification will be scheduled for this coming weekend.
Lear Whitby manufactures seats for vehicles produced at General Motors in Oshawa and there were fears a strike could have a major impact on GM operations in the city.
