• Drivers and conductors with the Northern General Transport Co Ltd, Gateshead, and several associated firms, held their second 24hr token strike on June 26, in support of their claim for a £20 minimum wage. The stoppage was unofficial, and was mainly directed against the TGWU for alleged delay in pressing the men's claim. The employees have threatened a weekly token stoppage until they are satisfied definite action is being taken on their behalf. As a result of the strike, many parts of North Durham were without bus services, and services on the north side of the River Tyne were also affected.
