CIVIL servants in the region will strike on Wednesday, May 15 in a row over pay, conditions and job cuts.
Public and Commercial Services Union members at the shared Rural Payments Agency, Marine Management Organisation and Natural England site in Newcastle will take part in a national day of industrial action.
The strike comes on the last day for farmers to hand in their single farm payment applications to the Rural Payments Agency.
