By a 257-to-114 vote, union members approved a contract last night with the Pepsi Bottling Group, ending a two-month old strike by workers at the Pepsi bottling plant in Burnsville. Union officials had previously rejected two contract offers from the company. The union was seeking a three-year, four percent annual pay raise. They also wanted better retirement and health care benefits. Larry Yoswa is the head of Teamsters Local 792, and he's on the line now.
