'Worst outbreak' | DVLA staff to strike over coronavirus safety

Many staff members at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Swansea are to start a four-day strike on Tuesday in a row over COVID-related safety.

According to the Evening Standard, members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) – most of its members work in UK Government departments or at other public bodies – at the site in Swansea are to walk out until Friday after talks didn't resolve the dispute.

The union has said that the strike will include operational staff who have not been working remotely amid the pandemic.

Elsewhere, the publication reported that further industrial action is threatened if management do not make the safety improvements that the union is demanding.
