DVLA workers announced 15 days’ strike action over plummeting take-home wages and working conditions

CIVIL servants working for the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) are set to continue pay strikes with a 15-day walkout next month, the PCS union has announced.

Output Services Group staff printing materials for the DVLA and other government departments at TY Felin and Morriston in Swansea will down tools between June 11 and 25.

Production of vehicle tax reminders and driving licences is likely to be hit.

The union said strikes in February, part of a national dispute over plummeting take-home wages and working conditions, kept the printers turned off.

PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “Managers struggled last time and they’ll struggle this time.

“We’re not afraid to turn up the pressure on ministers to achieve our reasonable demands — a fair pay rise through the cost-of-living crisis and beyond.”

A DVLA spokesperson said online services and the contact centre were “operating as normal.”
