Here are the top stories in Reno today:
- A union for drivers and the operator of metro Reno's transit bus system say they've reached a tentative agreement to settle a contract dispute that dramatically reduced service during the past three weeks. Only a handful of routes ran during the strike, leaving thousands of riders without public transportation. The strike began Nov. 9 after the union rejected the "best and last offer" proposed by Keolis, which operates the system for the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County. (FOX5 Las Vegas)

The campaign runs from Nov. 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, to Dec. 10, which is recognized as Human Rights Day.
