Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) served DVSA notice of strike action on:
- 8 and 9 February – all PCS members in DVSA including driving examiners and customer service centre agents
- 10 and 11 February – any PCS members in DVSA contracted to work weekends
They do not expect this action by PCS to affect our heavy vehicle annual test (MOT) service, but we will not know for certain until strike action takes place.
Please continue to attend your annual test booking(s) as planned.
Their customer service centre might be affected by the strike action, and it may take longer than usual to answer your query. The customer service centre will be open from 8am to 4pm on 8 and 9 February.
Work to resolve the dispute
DVSA has been working with PCS to address concerns raised about the working arrangements for driving examiners and the driving test service provided by DVSA. DVSA has made an offer to PCS to end the dispute, which has been rejected.
They are unable to confirm what level of impact the industrial action might have on our services but BFFF members should be aware.
Not all DVSA staff are PCS members, and even if they are, they might choose not to go on strike. So, they will not know which staff are participating in strike action until it takes place.
