HeadlineSep 23, 2011

Teachers in Tacoma, Washington, have voted to ratify an agreement ending a 10-day strike. Teachers had remained off the job throughout the week in defiance of a back-to-work order from the governor. The new pact rules out state-proposed salary cuts and contains a compromise on job security. Tacoma schools are reopening today.
