(Adds confirmation, detail, smaller union still on strike)
OSLO, April 20 (Reuters) - Norway's largest labour union
on Thursday said it had reached a wage deal and would end a four
day strike that hit breweries, ferry operators, metals makers
and other industry.
A smaller union with less than 10% of the involved workers
said it would continue its strike action.
The LO union said it had agreed a deal for an average pay
rise of 5.2% for 185,000 private sector workers, which in turn
is expected to set a benchmark for other employment groups
nationwide under Norway's centralised system of negotiations.
The YS union, organising around 16,000 workers, said it had
not agreed to a deal.
