What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

After a monthlong strike, unionized workers and the City of Solvang reached a tentative agreement on Wednesday night. The agreement followed about six months of failed negotiations between the workers and the City of Solvang. The workers, represented by Jeff Lee, initially sought a 4 percent cost-of-living increase in the first year, followed by two 6 percent increases. The City of Solvang had previously offered a 6 percent increase in the first year and 4 percent in the following two years.
