Frito-Lay employees in Topeka, Kansas, ratify a new contract, ending a 20-day strike over working conditions
The contract will provide workers with a guaranteed day off each work week, and eliminates so-called"suicide shifts" where workers put in eight-hour days plus four hours of overtime before returning for their next shift, according to a Frito-Lay statement provided to CNN Business. The news of the agreement was first reported Saturday by The New York Times.
In a statement Saturday, Anthony Shelton, the union's international president, said the workers"have shown the world that union working people can stand up against the largest food companies in the world and claim victory for themselves, their families and their communities."Read MoreRon Sadler, employee at Frito-Lay for 32 years, puts his fist up as drivers honk their horns to show support for the union strike Tuesday afternoon, July 20.
