Labour has averted the threat of strike action by party staff after saying it would not impose compulsory redundancies.
Unions had warned Keir Starmer that members could take industrial action if staff were sacked as part of Labour's cost-cutting efforts.
GMB and Unite officials met Labour bosses for talks on Friday after both unions backed action by 75% if compulsory redundancies were announced.
A source said that some 81 staffers were taking voluntary redundancy but unions were assured that staff would not be axed.
Vaughan West, GMB Regional Organiser, said: "It remains disappointing that hard-working Labour Party staff members were placed in this situation - but we are relieved that we have received assurances that compulsory redundancies will now not need to be considered.

"We will continue to support our members through the leaving process and those that remain will continue to be supported as the Party seeks to move to a new structure over the coming months."
Unite regional officer Matt Smith said: "We are pleased that compulsory redundancies have been ruled out and at the solidarity shown by our members for those at risk.
"However, it is regretful that 80 Labour staff members will be leaving the party over the next month.
"We will be doing everything we can help to them through that process.
"Unite will also be providing ongoing support our members who are remaining as the reorganisation moves forwards."
The avoidance of potentially damaging strike action by Labour staff will be a relief to Mr Starmer, as he gears up for his first in-person party conference as leader.
Party members will descend on Brighton later this month for the annual gathering, which was conducted virtually last year due to the pandemic.
Mr Starmer is under pressure to spell out his vision for the party after his first 15 months were dominated by responding to the Covid pandemic.
The Labour Party has been contacted for comment.
