Postal workers are expected to call off the strike that has crippled services in Belfast for more than a fortnight, Royal Mail said today.
The company claimed it had met demands issued by the Communication Workers Union last night in a bid to end the unofficial action.
The union asked for assurances that its members would not be victimised and that a review of industrial relations will be independent.
The wildcat strike began on January 31st amid allegations of management harassment and bullying at a Belfast depot.
Royal Mail said it could give categorical assurances on the two issues the union were seeking clarification on.
Gary Crawford, personnel director for Royal Mail in Northern Ireland, said: "On the issue of victimisation, I want to assure people that we will treat our people fairly.
"We do not victimise people for any reason, including participating in industrial action.
"On the issue of the independence of the third party, we remain committed to the involvement of an independent third party. Independent means independent," he said.
"We won't interfere with it."
