Striking U.S. dockworkers will return to work Friday after reaching a tentative agreement with employers on an improved wage offer.
The conditional offer was for a 62% wage increase.
The offer is on the table for the next 90 days. If no deal is reached within that timeframe, the proposed wage hike will be pulled from the table.
