Local Democracy ReporterDozens of IT workers at the Nottingham branch of the Driver and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA) are continuing their month-long strike.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services Union on the picket line on Parliament Street this morning said there was a "culture of bullying" at the DVSA, and grievances raised were going unaddressed for months on end.
The DVSA, which is responsible for driving and vehicle tests, said the industrial action was "disappointing", adding it has robust measures in place to make it a "great place to work" and that it has a "zero tolerance policy towards bullying".
IT worker Ian Fletcher, 52, from Kimberley, said he has been suspended for five months after a dispute with "zero dialogue" from bosses.
"There’s a culture of bullying," he said. "This isn’t something that’s just occurred recently, this has happened over a number of years. We don’t want to just stand back and let this happen."
The picket line was visited this morning by local Labour MPs Alex Norris and Vernon Coaker, who said they would raise questions in the House of Commons about the problems facing workers.
Adrian Long, from the DVSA, said the action has had minimal impact and added: "We have put in place contingency measures to deal with any disruption so we can continue to help everyone stay safe on Britain’s roads."
