On the heels of an unprecedented 24-day labor strike late last year, around 20 journalists at the 117-year-old Fort Worth Star-Telegram have ratified the only union contract at a Texas newspaper.

Workers at two other Texas papers, in Dallas and Austin, are still bargaining for union contracts after roughly two years.
