Earlier this afternoon the National Union of Journalists announced that strike action will no longer take place at Trinity Mirror’s Birmingham-based titles after the NUJ chapels ‘secured an agreement for no compulsory redundancies’.
Twenty-four hour industrial action had originally been planned to take place on Thursday.
Background:
NUJ members at the titles had balloted for action earlier this month, following the announcement of job cuts and closure of weekly titles.
Trinity Mirror responded to a vote of no confidence in the TM management, via a statement, accusing the NUJ of undermining efforts for the two parties to work together.
