A strike at a Texas City chemical plant has come to an end with union workers securing a new contract. The strike was initiated in response to proposed changes to worker benefits and job positions. The proposed contract had removed benefits for senior workers and reduced sick leave benefits, among other changes.

This affected around 70 workers, who are represented by a union. Further details about the new contract and the terms agreed upon are available from Houston Public Media, which reported on the strike and its resolution.
