The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has withdrawn planned strikes by journalists at National World newspapers, including the Scotsman and the Evening News, that were called over compulsory redundancies.
Staff had been due to walk out on 26 August and 2 September.
John Toner, NUJ national organiser for Scotland, said: “We have decided to withdraw the plans for strikes on the dates we announced because the members affected do not wish the union to pursue industrial action on their behalf.
