Construction resumes as workers return to work at the Green Point Soccer stadium in Cape Town, South Africa, Thursday, July 16, 2009. Construction workers have agreed to end a weeklong strike that threatened to derail the completion of already tightly-scheduled projects for the World Cup, union officials and employers said Wednesday. Workers agreed on a pay increase of 12 percent, below the earlier demand of 13 percent, and work at sites across South Africa is to resume on Thursday.
