FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda After the UK Transport Minister Justine Greening announced plans to close all the DVLA’s 39 local offices and 10 enforcement centers across the country by December 2013, the PCS union attacked the move for leading to 1,200 job cuts and the loss of direct services to the public and motor trade, despite strikes by staff in the offices and a petition of 80,000 names against the controversial plan.
“As a result of this government’s politically motivated obsession with cuts, our communities stand to lose another 1,200 jobs and the public and traders will lose a service they rely on,” said PCS General Secretary Mark Serwotka.
“When our towns and cities are crying out for investment, not more cuts, it’s scandalous that ministers are ploughing ahead with closures that the vast majority of people have opposed.”
Meanwhile, describing the cuts aimed at saving £26m a year as “a government car-crash,” PCS union parliamentary group chairman Labour MP John McDonnell said, “Their manic office closure programme will be entirely counter-productive and will produce exactly the same result as the closure of local tax offices with income falling as people find it difficult to pay.”
Earlier on June, after demonstrations by DVLA Cardiff and Bangor staff, more than 3,000 staff in Swansea held a two-hour strike as part of a month of action over the government’s cuts. The DVLA employs over 6,000 people across Britain.
