Group of DVLA staff in Swansea to strike for five consecutive days

Some staff at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Swansea are being asked to strike for five days consecutively in February in a dispute over pay and job security. Employees who are a part of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union working at Ty Felin and Morriston sites in Swansea are expected to walk out from February 13 to 17.

The union said the industrial action had come as a result of a dispute over better pay, pensions, job security and redundancy terms. It said it was "determined to keep the pressure on until the government improves its offer to members."

The DVLA has insisted there will be no widespread disruption and only a small number of staff - around 60 people - will be advised to strike by the PCS union. The Swansea-based agency, which has over 6,000 staff in the region, said online services and the Contact Centre would not be affected.
