ASHLAND - A strike in Ashland is close to being over.Union members and business leaders at Ashland Industries voted Friday to accept a new agreement.

Business officials say the offer is pretty much like the original one with changes coming in contractual language and employees getting the option to pay union dues or not.

Forty-three employees were originally on strike and those workers will be brought back as needed.

A final meeting will be held on the issue Tuesday.
