Great news from the Birmingham Post and Mail that the chapels have secured an agreement there will be no compulsory redundancies.

Congratulations to the chapel members who mounted a solid, united resistance to these proposals, voting massively in favour of a strike.

Our members in the midlands will take strength from this and it will give confidence to other Trinity chapels currently balloting for industrial action.

Update, 29 July: Congratulations also to the Coventry Newspapers chapel that announced today it has agreed to call off its planned action for next week after saving three jobs under threat.

There are still talks over the future of a photographer and a reporter but signs are hopeful that a deal will be reached and no one will be made redundant against their will. These are important victories.
