Almost 400 workers lost their jobs in March, when Vivergo terminated its contract with Redhall Engineering Services Ltd.
Through mediation group ACAS, Vivergo has offered almost £4,000 to each worker.
By accepting the offer, know as a COT3 agreement, workers will give up the right to bring further claims against the employer.
Les Dobbs, GMB union senior organiser, said: “We have told members we will support those who accept the compensation agreement, but we will also back those who wishing to continue to campaign to have their jobs back.”
The protests, which began in March, have caused severe traffic delays on several occasions, when workers blocked Hedon Road.

The driver was alerted to flames from the rear of his cab by other motorists.
He stopped near the junction of Muller Road and dialled 999.
Firefighters using a hose reel and foam dealt with the blaze, which seriously damaged the cab of the vehicle.
No one was hurt, and it is believed the fire was caused by an electrical fault.
Impressed by the capabilities and expertise which Harsco had shown on the first project, main contractor Spie SCGPM asked the company to repeat the process at Gare Saint-Lazare.
The large-scale renovation work on the main station canopy required Harsco to design and construct a 220-ton, 18-metre high MODEX scaffolding structure which covered an area of 3,840 m².
The modular nature of the overall scaffold system allows it to accommodate any shape, ground plan or height requirements with ease. This was particularly beneficial in creating the irregularly spaced walkways which were required by the site workforce.
To counter the confined nature of the site Harsco provided mobile cranes to lift-in the required materials. The complex nature of the various works also required Harsco to adhere to a detailed work schedule, so that all the necessary requirements for safety, minimising noise pollution and reducing disruption to the surrounding area could be satisfied.
One stage of the project required the use of specially skilled workers who were able to access the overhanging sections of the canopy to carry out the renovation work. The canopy renovation was carried out concurrently with other work to refurbish the building main structure, and the construction of a new shopping mall located within the station complex.
Rumors have been circulating since Friday after the shock announcement that 1,500 jobs are to go at TATA Steel, 1,200 at Scunthorpe and 300 at the Teeside plant which is due to the down turn in the demand for structural steel.
Parts of the Scunthorpe plant have also been proposed to be mothballed including the Bloom and Billet Mill and the Queen Bess blast furnace.
Demand for structural steel in the UK is only two-thirds of the 2007 level and is not expected to fully recover within the next five years.

Patrick McGuinness (28) claimed he was only defending himself after a man picked him up, threw him on the ground and started punching him.
McGuinness said the attack on him arose following an earlier incident in a pub, after he innocently asked another smoker for a cigarette, and was told to “f*** off”.
He also claimed he was delighted when gardai intervened in the dispute, and said he continued to struggle, as he didn’t realise the men standing over him were gardai.
McGuinness, of Melesian Avenue, Swords, was found guilty before Swords District Court of public drunkenness and threatening and abusive behaviour.
Judge Patrick Brady fined McGuinness €450 and ordered him to complete 100 hours’ community service in lieu of 10 weeks in prison.
Garda Leonard Clarke said he was on mobile patrol on Swords Main Street around 2am on November 28 last when he saw McGuinness, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, run across the road towards a group of people standing at a bus stop.
Garda Clarke said McGuinness got involved in a fist fight with another man.
The court heard gardai were forced to take McGuinness to the ground, where he continued to struggle.
Subdue Garda Clarke said he warned McGuinness to stop struggling, but he failed to do so, and he was forced to use OC spray to subdue him.
McGuinness said he was struggling because he thought he was still being attacked.
He claimed he was walking home when he was jumped upon by another individual, following an earlier incident in a Swords pub. Judge Brady said McGuinness’s behaviour was a lot more than self-defence.
Police believe villagers from Stanton Lacy, near Ludlow will have spotted the thieves dismantling the scaffolding believing they were the genuine workmen.
Police Constable Antony Baker, the investigating officer, said: “A large quantity of scaffolding together with planks, brackets and ladders, has been stolen from St Peter’s Church, Stanton Lacy.
“It had been erected to the side of the church for repairs to the roof and was disassembled between 9.30pm last Friday and 8am on Monday. It took two men two days to put up, so the thieves would have been at work for some considerable time.
“Local residents or visitors to the village may well have seen this theft happening without realising a crime was taking place. I would urge witnesses or anyone with information about those responsible, to contact Ludlow police station on 0300-333-3000.”
PC Baker added that some kind of lorry or large van would have been needed to carry the items. “The thieves would also have had some knowledge on how to dismantle the scaffolding and how long it would take. At least two people are likely to have been involved.”
Information can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers number, 0800-555-111.
Scaffolder Adrian Haddon, 37, of Thornton Blackpool, who works for a local scaffolding firm was shocked when he was arrested by Lancashire Police on orders by authorities in Canada where his son lives.

Adrian is now trying to build a relationship with his son who lives in Alberta Canada.
He said “Ive spoken to him on the phone, he wants us to have contact and hopes one day we will meet each other”.
Blackpool magistrates agreed to bail Adrian pending his appearance before a family court next week.
