A question of emphasis...
"More than 4,000 officials from the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) are expected to take part in the industrial action on Friday".
And for why?
Well, "over below-inflation pay" for starters.
So far, so very, very par for the course.
Serwotka, the PSC's head honcho and a man not unknown to extreme left circles has his righteous indignation hat on too:
"...and claims of a widening gap between men and women’s salaries...The union says that pay gaps of more than £2,500 exist between the predominantly female-staffed DVLA and the Department for Transport which employs a larger proportion of men"
I wonder, where does one's money go further - Whitehall - home of the DoT, or Swansea - home of the DVLA?
Serwo could also be pressing for pay cuts at the DoT, because that would deliver the deadly procrustean equality he clearly values so greatly
