Nabisco Workers Approve New Contract, Ending Weeks-Long Strike
--------------------------------------------------------------

In labor news, Nabisco workers in five states have ended a weeks-long
strike after union members overwhelmingly approved a new contract that
includes a 60-cent-an-hour annual wage increase for the next four years,
a $5,000 bonus for all employees, and blocks proposed cuts to workers'
healthcare. Nabisco workers say they had been forced to work grueling
12- to 16-hour shifts during the pandemic, often including on weekends.
