According to the agreement, JT Precision will resume operations, drop any charges against the union, reinstate the fourteen dismissed workers, hire union members and take over lengths of service specified in the collective agreement, as well as preparing the settlement package, securing the volume of orders to be received from Citizen Watch Co., Ltd., the previous parent company, for two years for employment stabilization, and maintaining the 2008 collective agreement on the wage. Upon the agreement, all of the South Korean delegates to Japan that continued their struggle in front of the Citizen Headquarters returned to their country on September 13.
