LONG BEACH (AP) — A group of 18 Filipino sailors aboard a Greek cargo ship berthed at the Port of Long Beach have agreed to settle a labor dispute over back pay that led to a four-day strike, a union official said Monday.


"We have a settlement. The crew is going to take the ship to anchor... disembark, and fly home tonight," said Jeff Engels, West Coast coordinator of the International Transport Workers Federation, and one of the negotiators who represented the sailors.
