Frito-Lay workers will return to work at the Topeka plant after union members approved a new contract that leaves employees in a stronger position than any in recent history. From KCUR:
“I am a very hard-working woman,” says Hellen Teater, standing on the picket line across from the Frito Lay plant in Topeka this week. “I work like hell.”“Because I've been working seven days a week,” Teater said, “like, 84 hours a week.”
The contract approved by union members would guarantee one day off a week and includes 4% raises over the next two years. It would also end what workers call “suicide shifts,” two 12-hour shifts, with only eight hours off in between.

Wiese said at least half a dozen companies are actively recruiting workers. He said at least two workers at the plant left the picket lines for those other jobs.
