The union called a series of strikes over the sacking of Arwyn Thomas Three planned Tube strikes have been called off after the driver at the centre of the row was given his job back by London Underground (LU).
Arwyn Thomas has been reinstated after a tribunal ruled he was unfairly fired.
LU had said he was dismissed for alleged unacceptable behaviour towards staff but the RMT insisted his role as a union representative was to blame.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said it would not go ahead with walkouts scheduled from next Monday.
BBC London's political correspondent Karl Mercer said: "Since the strike has been called off the RMT and London Underground and the London Mayor's office have all claimed victory."
Union members were also due to take action on Wednesday and Friday of next week.
Next week's strikes would have coincided with the second week of the Wimbledon tennis championships in south-west London.
A series of walkouts has been staged this year, the most recent last Sunday.
The tribunal found Mr Thomas was partly to blame for his sacking but said options other than dismissal should have been explored to discipline him.
