A labor dispute in Texas City has come to an end with the signing of a new contract between union workers and a local chemical plant. The agreement was reached after a strike by 70 workers, who are represented by a union. The strike was prompted by proposed changes to worker benefits and job positions.

Further details about the contract and the terms of the agreement are available from Houston Public Media. Information about the specifics of the new contract is limited, but it is known that the strike has ended and a resolution has been reached between the union workers and the chemical plant, Ashland Specialty Chemicals.
