Building inspectors in San Jose end strike

From the San Jose Mercury News Dec. 12, 2007:

SAN JOSE, Calif.—Striking building inspectors in San Jose are going back to work.

After walking off the job nearly two weeks ago, the 90 members of the Association of Building, Mechanical and Electrical Inspectors and city officials struck a deal involving disciplinary procedures, including whether inspectors could appeal firings to outside arbitrators.

The settlement comes after the strike had shut down some high-rise condominium and high-tech office projects.

The strike was San Jose's first public employee strike in more than two decades.
