It is appalling that DVSA senior managers and ministers have allowed this dispute to escalate – Rachael Maskell

Rachael
Maskell MP, Labour’s Shadow Rail Minister, commenting on the driving examiners
strike, said:

“It
is appalling that DVSA senior managers and ministers have allowed this dispute
to escalate, meaning thousands of driving tests are having to be cancelled.

"Driving
examiners have told me they have serious and genuine concerns about the safety
of the new test and we support the PCS union’s call for it to be suspended to
allow for further analysis.

"Instead
of stoking disputes like this and demonising unions who raise concerns, the
next Labour government will work with staff, their representatives and
employers to protect working conditions while improving standards.”
