Hey mate,

It's quite hard to translate that since it's only part of a whole paragraph / article.

But from context, it could mean:
how the unions and automotive plant bargain with each other (labour terms etc), will determine when the plant can be opened. In other words, if they do reach an agreement (the bargainers), then the factory will open by next week.

So, the "skill of the union bargainers" means their diplomatic skills which will hopefully speed up the bargaining process.

Hope that helped.
