RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Workers at the main venue for the 2016 Olympics ended a two-week strike on Thursday but a full return to work will only come next week and they will strike again if pay talks prove fruitless, union officials said.

The first of about 2,500 workers returned to Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Park on Thursday morning after contractors agreed to increase the value of the daily lunch vouchers given to each employee.
