Fiji Women's Rights Movement says the settlement of a seven-week strike at the state-owned cannery marks a victory for women rights.
360 workers, mainly women, at the Pacific Fishing Company in Levuka had been on strike for better working conditions.
The agreement is in line with an arbitration award offered earlier this year, and workers' pays will now be backdated to January.
Virisila Buadromo, the co-ordinator of the Fiji Women's Rights Movement, says the outcome is significant for women.
"The fact that these women decided to stand their ground and stand for something they believe in is remarkable and is also sort of a beacon of light for other women and to realize that they do not have to take things lying down, that they also have rights, and they can fight for those rights."
