DVLA workers demand explanation from Shapps over withdrawal of dispute deal
TRANSPORT ministers were accused today of scuppering a deal that could have brought an end to a bitter dispute at the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) over Covid-19 safety.
Public-sector union PCS today delivered a letter to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps demanding an explanation as to why the agreement was withdrawn at the “11th hour.”
The union alleges that ministers intervened to scupper a deal reached by PCS representatives and DVLA senior management that could have ended the months-long dispute.
