Concrete deliveries in Seattle appear set to resume on Monday
Striking ready-mix truck drivers said Friday they'll return to work Monday, and their employers said they'll welcome them.
It's the first major breakthrough in a long-running strike that has ground the construction industry to a near halt and idled thousands of non-striking construction workers whose work depends on the flow of concrete.
Negotiations between Teamsters Local 174 and concrete suppliers are to continue when deliveries resume.
On Friday, the 300-plus ready-mix and dump truck drivers and support staff offered what the Teamsters called "an unconditional return to work."
