After a long day working at the construction site, has murersvend Mette Schak Dahlmann need to get a bath and change clothes, but it is not always easy for her, for in skurvognene is most often just a curtain you can pull for, and she must dress along with all her male colleagues.
It means that she has been going almost naked to the gaze of the other, when she has dressed, she has fought against, for there must be more equality in skurvognene, she believes.
In november drove she among other things, a homebuilt utility trailer to the Palace to show the politicians how to easily convert a utility trailer, so there will be a door you can lock to the bath and dressing room.
– I have done it here, because we have a law, which actually is mega old, and that is not equivalent to the time we live in, says Mette Schak Dahlmann to TV2 ØSTJYLLAND.
She points out, however, that it is not exclusively about women on the construction site, but that men also can get the benefit of a locked door.
And now it seems that her struggle for equal rights has borne fruit. In each case, there is now a requirement that one should be able to unlock a door when you dress and take bath in the skurvognene.
– There must be room for both sexes in skurvognen, because working thankfully both women and men around the country’s construction sites, and then it must of course be such that one can lock the door when you e.g. washing themselves after the day’s work, says employment Troels Lund Poulsen (V) in a press release.
It is precisely the minister of employment, which, together with 3F and the Danish Construction association have signed the agreement on a locked door in the skurvognene. But even though it is now black on white, it is still quite unreal for mason-Catherine, that her struggle has helped.
– It is not gone up for me basically, and I see it might not be quite so large yet, until it is out here, for it is such a little intangible, says Mette Schak Dahlmann.
But although she now has scored success with its struggle, it has not been easy getting her to stand up.
– It has been a tough battle. I have felt that I have been very much alone. Many have made me, that I would have special treatment and scolded me out, because I don’t need to have gender equality, she says.
At 3F Byggegruppen the sound of applause to mason-the woman who held fast in his fight for equality.
– We are very happy that we in the community have come forward to a good and constructive solution to the challenge lay in the bath and toilet conditions for our female construction workers. In a time where we want more to take a professional training – not least several women – it is important that, together, we have focused on challenges and opportunities, says chairman of the 3F Byggegruppen, Kim Lind Larsen, in the press release.
3F and the Danish Construction association suggests that you change the order on skurvogne, so all new models from 2021 to have a room that must be locked. In addition, they must also be equipped with a refrigerator and an oven.
