LIMA -- A four month long strike at an oil refinery in Lima is finally coming to an end.

Officials from Husky Energy have accepted an offer from striking workers to return to the job on Monday.

An official with the United Steel Workers says the nearly 240 workers will go back now under their old contract.

They hit the picket lines May 25 over safety issues and working conditions.

Despite the strike, production continued with salaried workers doing the jobs of union members.

The refinery puts out about 155,000 barrels of oil a day.
