Title: NUJ "Strike Off"
Post by Administrator on Sep 11^th, 2014, 10:03pm

The "Press Gazette" reports here that the NUJ has called off the forthcoming strike after securing a recruitment freeze.

"Journalists at the BBC have decided not to go on strike after management agreed to a freeze on compulsory redundancies and on recruitment.

Members of the National Union of Journalists voted in favour of strike action in protest at plans to cut 415 jobs from BBC News, but no strike date had been set."
