Negotiations in the year-long strike at the Halifax ChronicleHerald are set to resume

Negotiations in the year-long strike at the Halifax Chronicle Herald are set to resume next week after an unfair labour complaint was withdrawn yesterday.

A hearing had been scheduled to begin next Monday before the Nova Scotia Labour Board.

But the union for 55 striking newsroom workers at the paper says says it was deemed unnecessary after management at the provincial newspaper backed away from “bad faith bargaining positions.”

A release from the Herald says the sides have agreed to resume talks over changes the company says are required to meet business challenges.
