A strike which had been due to go ahead at 70 Tesco supermarkets around the country this morning, including Galway, has been suspended.
Fresh talks between the parties are due to take place later this week.
The action was called after Tesco announced plans to change the contracts of its long serving Irish workers, which would have reduced their pay.
Unions and management have agreed to meet on Wednesday at the Workplace Relations Commission.
There are Tesco stores in the city, Oranmore and Ballinasloe.
Mandate’s Assistant General Secretary, Gerry Light says they are making efforts to reach a negotiated settlement.
