DVSA (PCS) Strike Calendar
Strike Type: GOV
Latest Updates (3)
The demands to which DVSA management have agreed include: confirmation that there are no plans to introduce an eight-test day; an optional reduction in weekend working to one day for those on ‘5-in-7’ contracts; and an “acceptable overtime incentive” for all staff in DVSA involved in the car driving test service recovery.
Agreements are also in place over the way the backlog recovery period will be managed, including line-management arrangements, ensuring equal pay for work of equal value, and a binding memorandum of understanding on job and role security.
The decision to suspend the action has been taken in light of the Department for Transport's confirmation that they will pay a £1500 lump sum to members. The suspension will now be followed by a period of negotiations on the £1500 cost of living payment where we will be arguing for the money to be paid to members as soon as possible. We cannot proceed with further discussions on its implementation while live strike action is ongoing meaning payment would be delayed. Our national objective during this period is to secure confirmation of the payment from all bargaining areas in the dispute.
here are already ever-increasing backlogs of driving tests with some test centres currently at a 26 week wait. The further strike action will be from 5 to 28 April and will involve over 1500 driving examiners and also admin staff based in test centres.
