In a release Tuesday, the Halifax Typographical Union which represents newsroom staff said it agreed to the adjournment as it hopes to head back to the bargaining table.

Unionized employees have been on strike since last January.

In November, the union launched the complaint for which a hearing had been set to take place on Monday, the anniversary of the strike. It has now been scheduled for Feb. 6.

Attempts to resume talks have been unsuccessful until now, but in a release the union said there have been “off-the-record talks” between both sides.
