London, March 14 -- Amicus, the union for automotive workers, can today (14/03/03) announce that following a ballot of both Amicus and TGWU union members we are calling off the dispute and accepting the revised offer from Peugeot.

The ballot result was as follows - 1,678 votes in favour to 887 votes against, a majority of 2 to 1.

Duncan Simpson, Amicus National Secretary said,

"Whilst the final settlement falls below the original aspiration of our members, it's good that the dispute is over."
