A long-running strike by workers at the National Coal Mining Museum has ended after an agreement was reached over pay, a union said.

More than 40 workers at the museum in Wakefield began industrial action last August calling for higher wages.

A spokesperson for Unison said workers were set to receive a 10.5% wage increase, meaning mine guides' pay will rise from £12.86 to £14.21 an hour.

In a joint statement, the museum's CEO Lynn Dunning and chair of the board of trustees Phil Marshall said the pay deal "sits within the Charity's financial parameters and helps to secure the long-term sustainability of this much‑loved national visitor attraction".
