Dealers may suffer as DVLA set for more strikes

The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union has said its members working for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will take industrial action in the coming weeks.

From February 27 to March 3, PCS members at the DVLA in Swansea will join in a strike as they remain in a dispute with the UK Government over pay, jobs, pensions and conditions.

PCS members working for DVLA on Output Services Group (OSG) started 5 days of strike action on Monday this week at two sites in Swansea, as part of the union's second wave of targeted action. 

It said members at Ty Felin and Morriston are responsible for printing for DVLA, including letters and driving licences.

"Members have demonstrated mass support for the action which will bring the DVLA print services to a halt and maximise disruption to key DVLA services.

"We know the action is impacting on issuing customer correspondence across input services group and drivers medical."

PCS said it will continue to escalate the action at the DVLA until a resolution to the dispute is achieved.

It has asked all DVLA members working in stores to take part in strike action on February 27 to March 3.

PCS is also calling for a national strike on March 15 Budget Day.
