Workers within the DVLA's medical section plan to go on strike in January over five days, and its union is to pay them their full pay while they do so. The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) has asked those employed within the Drivers Medical sector at its Morriston, Swansea site to strike on the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th next month.
It comes after "one of the highest votes in favour of strike action" at the DVLA, with nearly 94% of members voting in favour of the move. The DVLA itself has hit out at the move, accusing the union of "negatively impacting some of the most vulnerable people in society." Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
