Workers at Solid Energy's Huntly East coalmine have voted to accept an 8.5 percent pay increase after a month of industrial action.
The offer was similar to one rejected last week but removed clawbacks which would have left workers worse off, said Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union spokesman Rob Egan.
The base pay rate for miners and maintenance staff would increase from $78,832 to $85,600.
Meanwhile, about 730 workers at Solid Energy's West Coast mines at Stockton and Spring Creek were due to vote on a new offer tonight.
Solid Energy had earlier offered unionised employees New Zealand-wide a 2 percent increase in the first year and 3 percent in the second, as well as a lump sum of about $2000 in recognition of large profits.
Workers remain on strike at the company's Rotowaro and Stockton mines.
