DVLA Adding To HGV Shortages

[life on mars]

I wouldn’t be surprised if DVLA gets relocated to another part of the country at some stage.

Sad;ly you are right If PCS Union General Secretary Mark Serwotka has it way and 6 thousand jobs will be lost , they have spent 4.1 million making the building safe with all sorts of screens etc they have had one recorded Covid death and 500 positives but not all caught in work

There is 56,000 HGV /Bus drivers applications and 1.4 million applications sitting on desks , only 40% of staff are going into work , sadly due to the nature of the work you cant work remotely as you have use secure database servers .

58 days of strike so far this year getting £40 per day strike pay they are backed by a number of Labour MP's let hope the jobs are not lost as that will really hurt those at the DVLA and all those support industries, perhaps Mark Drakeford could remind them of those job risks ,best they don't apply for Supermarket , Postman, Bus Driver , NHS jobs if they do become redundant as they gamely kept on working through the worst of this .

Blah, blah, blah.

I had no idea you were such an expert on the DVLA, the buildings the staff work in and the methods of working. Where does this knowledge originate, I wonder?

It's alright, he's only adding "balance".

I'm especially interested to hear details of these "secure database servers" which mean DVLA staff can't work remotely.....

LoM is obviously a man in the know, so I reckon he should share this knowledge with us.

If Union workers have voted to strike. Its a fair ballot then why shouldnt Labour MPs back them.?

[The Lone Gunman]

This claim really interests me. Would you care to provide some details?

Personal data on thousands of PC in homes , that may not be secure really , yes you allow gate ways in but I'm guessing we are talking serous money, unless you have the answer and care to share ?

The answer is you're talking shite.

Do you honestly believe that the hundreds of thousands of civil servants who have been working on a myriad of government databases remotely during the pandemic haven't had any access to personal data?

You boldly claimed "you cant work remotely as you have to use secure database servers due to the nature of the work." If that were true, barely anybody would be able to work from home in any industry, let alone in the civil service.

Wait until he hears that HMRC staff have been WFH.

I work for part of the Home Office and we are all working from home with access to individual data of hundreds of thousands including PND.

The same goes for the MOD Agency I just finished working for.
