looks like the Volvo strike at the

Dublin Plant could come to an end soon.

CHANNEL=C VO-NAT

VO-NAT The company announced tonight it

has reached a tentative agreement with
the union for a three year contract.

Workers now have to vote whether
to ratify the agreement

This comes on the very day some
non-union workers came forward to say
they have been harassed for staying on
the job.

News 7's Justin McLeod has that
part of the story.

HOUSE negotiators want to secure

There's also disagreement over
money for Alicia's Law...

That's the law designed to
protect children from online sexual
predators.

Lawmakers returned to Richmond
today and voted to extend the session
once again... a trip that cost
taxpayers more than 20- thousand
