Despite reaching an agreement on implementing pay increases, Unite and Pindar have agreed not to make details of their settlement available to the media, other than saying that it was settled on 28 March.

At the heart of the dispute was a decision by Pindar to delay an agreed wage rise from October last year to May this year. The print group's other sites had accepted the deal, but those at Scarborough had reacted angrily.

Union members were set to hold a ballot on industrial action, but this will no longer take place.

A joint statement issued by Unite and Pindar said: "Since the ballot of the 160 Unite Union members in mid-March, the Union representatives and the management of Pindar Graphics have been in further talks to find a mutually agreeable compromise. A compromise was reached on Friday 28th March and all threats of industrial action have now been withdrawn.

"The company and the union will to work together to continue delivering the world class service to its customers in the UK, Europe and the USA."
