Mott's strike ends

After 114 days the strike by workers against Mott's will end next week as workers return to work on day 120. The latest proposal does not contain wage cuts, but there are no wage increases during the three years of the contract. Pensions are retained for current workers, but new hires may not participate in the pension plan, although new hires will receive  higher 401(k) contributions. The returning employees will also receive a $1,000 signing bonus.
