Culinary union members began returning to work Wednesday after voting overwhelmingly to accept a new five-year contract and end a 10-week-old strike that idled more than 3,000 workers at the Nevada Test Site and the Tonopah Test Range.

The pact is with Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Co., the site’s main contractor.
The culinary union, with 617 workers at the two facilities, was the largest union involved in the strike and was the first to go out. Union members walked off their jobs Sept. 15 after Reynolds offered a wage freeze and take-aways in contract language.
Eventually, 3,200 workers from 10 unions ended up on strike at the nation’s nuclear testing facility.
