WORKERS at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Swansea have voted overwhelmingly for strike action over Covid-19 concerns.

More than 71 per cent of PCS members who voted in the ballot backed a strike after the agency failed to heed calls for a huge reduction in the number of people required to attend the office — even after what the union described as the country’s worst workplace outbreak.

Bosses have insisted on more than 2,000 staff attending daily — between four and eight times the number required to come in for essential duties during the first lockdown, the union said.
