YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - About three dozen workers at Noel Canning in Yakima will return to work after a weeklong strike.

The workers, represented by Teamsters Local Union 760, voted to return to work after the company sent a letter to employees agreeing to settle a number of unfair labor practice charges.

The union said Tuesday that the company agreed to again allow union representatives to visit the facility to investigate grievances and tend to other business; end discrimination against employees who wear union apparel and to pay owed pensions.

The Yakima Herald-Republic said a spokesman for the soft drink company did not return a phone call seeking comment.

The strike was the latest in the conflict between Noel Canning and the union, which dates back several years.
