Have you ever been to the DVLA's offices?

Yes many times, they are very old in their nature built 1969 I think ? Like a lot of government buildings they are tough to maintain and its not great , the worse I've seen and this is recent is the administration offices at the Heath . I've been in the Taxes Llanishen , ONS , Patent Office , Passports Newport, WAG Cathays . Merthyr WAG , Bay WAG.

Some are very ageing indeed .

Not been in the DVLA since the recent 4.1 million expenditure to provide a safer working environment , 4.1 million must have delivered some improvements .

There are very secured serves at DVLA and GDPR / data protection is very high which you would struggle to do all of it at home , as you may no , isn't that your world Government ??

In the above, you seem to have omitted the conditions that are concerning the staff in this dispute.

Those aren't working conditions, they are benefits, possibly designed to make up for the poor working conditions.

What do you call “a good pension”. My mate worked for the CS for 44 years, how much do you think his pension is for working all those years?

I will be better than a lot of people in the private sector I read that 87% of public sector employees are currently paying into a salary-linked pension schemes , compared with 12% of private sector employees which deliver a better contributions I'm not saying they are wonderful , just better than a lot of folk out there

Yes and for a so called better pension, CS’s have to put up with crap pay. So how much is a good pension and how much do you think my mates is for working 44 years?
