Unionized hospital workers agreed to terminate their protracted strike Tuesday following all-night negotiations with management representatives on key disputed issues, including a five-day workweek.

Unionized workers and management reached agreements on the implementation of a revised five-day workweek system under which 50 percent of the unionized employees will stay on duty every Saturday.

An estimated 15,000 nurses and hospital administrative workers from over 100 hospitals nationwide had participated in the walkout, which commenced on June 10th.
