A strike at Glasgow Herald and Evening Times papers was called off after half an hour earlier today. Staff returned to work after the management agreed a staff member facing compulsory layoff would be reinstated.

"All industrial action is suspended," said National Union of Journalists Scottish organiser Paul Holleran. "We reached an agreement with a form of words on how redundancies should be handled."

Talks between the union and Newsquest Herald & Times managing director Tim Blott will happen on Tuesday. It will cover a new technology agreement and also the case of Evening Times staff member who faces redundancy.
