DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Union leaders for workers at a Davenport defense contractor supplier say a labor strike that began last month has ended. A representative of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 6 tells the Quad-City Times that more than 400 union members employed at the Eaton Mission Systems Division of Davenport will return to work after a contract agreement was reached Tuesday. DeLane Adams said in a statement that the new contract included improved wages and other items, but terms of the contract were not disclosed. The strike began Feb. 18 after 98% of union members voted to reject a tentative agreement that included what union officials said were sub-standard wages and cuts to health care and retirement benefits.
