Public sector workers call off strike next week after discussions with government
It comes after more than 300,000 public sector workers took part in the largest strike in 17 years.
An independent third party has been chosen to help construct a basis for formal negotiations at the WRC.
The Public Services Committee chair said he believes the government want to reach an agreement "quickly".
While the strike action has been suspended, work-to-rule action will continue.
