DETROIT, Oct. 10 — The United Automobile Workers union reached a tentative agreement this afternoon with Chrysler LLC, about six hours after the union struck the auto company.

The agreement was announced by the union’s president, Ron Gettelfinger, in a statement. The union told workers to report for their jobs on their next shift, which for most will be Thursday morning.

Details of the agreement were not immediately available, but it was expected to follow the pattern set down in a new contract at General Motors, which was reached on Sept. 26 after a two-day union strike.

“This agreement was made possible because U.A.W. workers made it clear to Chrysler that we needed an agreement that rewards the contributions they have made to the success of this company,” Mr. Gettelfinger’s statement said.
