Group Hardship Fund
When strike action is taken some members may suffer hardship as a result. That is why we have set up a fund to help alleviate that hardship as best we can. The more money we collect the more we can do. Giving money to the hardship fund also allows members who are not invoved in any action to help out.
Thank you
Thank you to all those members who took part in the strike action or helped with picket lines.

The big issues
Work makes you sick
DfT wants to fine people in DVLA for taking four or more sick days in a 12 month period. We have a better way to dramatically reduce sick rates in the DVLA.
Total reward statements
All staff in the department will be offered a total reward statement (TRS). This will be produced by a private company using your data.
