STAFFORD - Union employees at the local ambulance service are heading back to work.

As part of a working settlement between the Stafford Ambulance Association, its unionized employees, and the National Labor Relations Board, the association's union workers will be returning to their jobs, according to Glenn Dube, the local union's president.

The settlement follows an NLRB decision last month that ordered the association to end its retaliation against its unionized employees.

The board made a default ruling in favor of the union after the Stafford Ambulance Association failed to respond.

"They ignored the federal government," Dube said Thursday.

Dube added that the workers are coming back to work as quickly as their schedules will allow.
