A dispute between Tyne and Wear Metro train maintenance staff and their employer Stadlet ended on July 14, following a pay offer from Stadler. Strikes planned by Unite and RMT members in response to a pay freeze were halted so the offer could be put to members, who voted in favour of the deal. The staff will receive a £750 tax-free payment to transfer from weekly to monthly pay and are guaranteed a pay rise in 2022.
