Strikes planned to take place at the UK's Trinity Mirror newspapers in Birmingham on Thursday have been called off by the National Union of Journalists, Press Gazette reported.

The proposed strike was met with strong opposition from Trinity Mirror upper staff members, with managing director Georgina Harvey calling the decision to strike "reckless and negligent." However, the reason for the strike's cancellation is due not to its negative reception but rather to a confirmation on the part of the publisher that no posts would be job cuts at the Birmingham-based papers.

A statement issued by the NUJ said the union "worked closely with BPM Media management to avoid job losses and are relieved that no union members will be made compulsorily redundant this week."
