Planned strikes by Royal Mail workers in the next two weeks have been called off after a challenge by the firm.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) are involved in a dispute over pay and conditions.
The CWU said it had decided to withdraw industrial action notices for the next fortnight following a legal letter from Royal Mail.
A series of strikes have taken place in recent weeks and action will now resume on Saturday 12 November.
Royal Mail confirmed that the CWU had withdrawn planned strike action originally planned for 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10 November.
"The CWU has withdrawn strike action following Royal Mail writing to CWU to highlight numerous material concerns with the formal notification of planned rolling strike action," a spokesperson said.
The company and the CWU are due to attend scheduled talks at the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) on Monday.
"We will continue to do all we can to keep business, companies and the country connected," the Royal Mail spokesperson added.
