The strike affecting over 300 union members at the IKEA distribution center in Perryville is over after workers accepted a new contract last week.

About 320 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local I460 District 4 who had been on strike since mid-November ratified a new contract Saturday, according to the union.

“The members took to the picket lines demanding fair wages and protections for seniority to ensure a just and respectful workplace. After weeks of negotiations, the new agreement delivers increased wages and preserves critical seniority language for employees with 18 or more years of service,” the union’s eastern territory general vice president, David Sullivan, said in a statement.

Seniority protections and wages were priorities for the union when the strike began in the fall.

Sullivan was arrested outside the IKEA distribution center and charged with disorderly conduct during a picket in November. The union subsequently filed a lawsuit to contest Perryville Police orders that restricted picketers’ movement in front of the building.

It was unclear Tuesday whether the union would continue to pursue the case against the Perryville mayor, town, police chief and police department with the strike finished.

The union did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IKEA plans to open a new, 2,000-square-foot “plan & order point” location in Hunt Valley Towne Center this summer, the international furniture brand announced Tuesday. Customers there will be able to plan, order and pick up products, IKEA said in a news release.
