New York Strikers End Walkout After City Pact
New York City unions and the city reached a settlement ending a weeklong strike that shut traffic, halted sewage plants, and disrupted parks, beaches, and school lunches. The accord requires 7,000 District Council 37 workers and 318 Teamsters bridge tenders to return to work. The pension plan remains under legislative review with potential renegotiation if not approved next year. Investigations into possible sabotage at 25 drawbridges are underway. A Manhattan judge issued a preliminary injunction forcing workers back to duty.
