An industry-wide strike of delivery workers planned for next week may be avoided after one courier company reached an in-principle agreement with staff over conditions and job protection.
The union hopes other companies will soon follow suit.
Union members from Toll, Linfox, StarTrack, FedEx and BevChain voted last week for a day of national strike action, an escalation after six months of stalled negotiations.
But workers at Toll have now reached an in-principle agreement with their bosses, which will go to union delegates for a vote on Friday.
If the agreement is endorsed, they'll pull out of the planned strike.
