Many of New York's striking prison guards will return to their jobs Saturday after the state told them to take a deal or face termination.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced an agreement late Thursday to end a wildcat strike that has roiled the state’s prison system for more than a week. Hochul said the state and the union for striking correctional workers agreed to binding terms after four days of mediation talks.

NY Governor Hochul settles an illegal strike by prison workers, halting the action and negotiating key concessions.
