Dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports are returning to work after their union agreed on a tentative deal on wages, AP reported.
The International Longshoremen’s Association suspended its strike until Jan. 15 to allow time to negotiate a new contract.

Dockworkers shut down 36 ports from Maine to Texas on Oct. 1 in a strike over wages and automation.
