PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The strike at the Coca-Cola plant in Juniata Park ended Monday with a deal. 

Teamsters walked off the job April 16, calling for better pay and a fair benefits package.

Liberty Coca-Cola said the new contract provides considerable benefits, along with wage increases over the next five years.

Teamsters Local 830 is the Tri-State region's largest Coca-Cola bottler and distributor.

"We appreciate all that our employees do to make this a great company, and we look forward to getting everyone back to work tomorrow under the new agreement," the union said in a statement.
