(Reuters) - Striking sailors of the SNCM ferry company count ballot papers after a vote on the ending of their strike, on board of the car ferry Mediterranee in Marseille October 13, 2005. Workers at the loss-making ferry company linking Corsica to mainland France voted on Thursday to end a 24-day strike, pulling back under government threats to declare the firm bankrupt. The strikers voted by an overwhelming 519 to 73 to go back to work, enabling conservative Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin to see off the first major challenge to his labour policies in just over four months in power.
