DELTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) � A 16-day strike at an Alliance Interiors plant near Lansing ended Thursday with workers approving their first labor contract.

Art Luna of the United Auto Workers announced the deal shortly after noon.

Alliance Interiors Chairman and CEO Earle Higgins Sr. said the company is very pleased with the deal.

"We look forward to continued success in the Lansing area," he said through a spokeswoman.

The 42-month contract was approved by 96 percent of the workers represented by UAW Local 724. Luna said the new deal includes a pay increase, but he would not elaborate.
