The sticking point was proposed job security terms the union wanted the company to agree to.
The Herald said it needs to be able to retain its most talented workers.
The staff of then-61 began striking in January.
The issues the union has with proposed changes for employees’ contracts include moving senior unionized editors to a non-union production centre, and “regressive working conditions”.
