DSA strike votes wins a retreat <\/strong><\/p>\n

A strike vote in the Driving Standards Agency has meant that management has backed off over a number of issues. Significantly, management has dropped its plans to close the department\u2019s Cardiff office. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don’t think we’ve heard the last of this one just yet. The kind of people involved in this want to strike over something, and the DSA is going to have to cut back somewhere if it is keeping the Cardiff offices open, so it’s only a matter of time before something makes the union members spit their dummy out again.<\/p>\n

For one thing, there’s no mention of Newcastle – and that was also involved in the original story.<\/p>\n

EDIT 20\/6\/2011: <\/strong> Don’t think it’s over, cos it ain’t.  The union is determined to get a strike<\/a> if it kills it. <\/p>\n

EDIT 27\/6\/2011: <\/strong> There will be celebrations on union committees across the UK tonight, as it looks like the possibility of the strikes being called off has been successfully repelled<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
