Mold in the DSB: Moved the leaders but let the employees sit

apparently, There is a difference between people in DSB.

It seems at least to be the case, if we are to believe the six employees, who have contacted Extra Magazine.

There were namely in december found mold on the ledelsesgangen in the premises at the central station, Bernstorffsgade 22 and 24.

Before there was a final report, was the whole ledelsesgangen moved to new premises, while the general staff was told that they had to wait on the report.

According to the employees, who have contacted Extra Magazine, refused the management to investigate their premises to start with. Vice president of DSB Anette Haugaard is not, however, agree with the interpretation.

– It has absolutely nothing on themselves. We investigated, of course, the building where the problem was, first. We got a report quickly in time. If pauselokalerne had been closer to the original findested, had we studied it first and moved them first, she says to Ekstra Bladet.

Read the DSB’s interpretation of the case in the bottom of the article.

The six DSB-employees, who have contacted Ekstra Bladet, have all chosen to remain anonymous due to fear of the management.

– We asked, what about us? We sit on the floor. We were told that it was very unlikely, but we were saying that it could not be true. The study showed that there were some mold spores, but there was not really anything more than we were asked whether we could not find other places to pause, says an anonymous employee, here called Anton, for the Extra Magazine.

DSB. stresses that according to them are high to the ceiling. They are in uncomprehending opposite, that the employees have chosen to be anonymous.

In an internal email to employees write the DSB, that the leaders moved from their offices when their work leads to ‘prolonged and sustained stay’ in the premises with the risk of mold.

however, It is possible to stay eight hours in a row several days in a row in pauselokalerne as an employee, if you have a so-called on-call time. On-call means, that you meet in and are available, if there is now supposed to arise from disease. It believes the DSB in the mail, however, does not justify a move.

‘It fall namely under the category of ‘long-term and continuous stay’. It does stay on pausestue or in a dressing room not stay as available for some days in a row,’ it sounds it in the mail.

– It is totally unacceptable. the It is, in my eyes, sacrificing the workers to the leaders. When a suspect moves the heads, but leave the general staff, shows that the leaders are worth more than the workers, says Anton.

– the Relationship between the workers and the leaders are at zero. It has gone on the frost. We have no confidence in the leadership. We can’t rely on them more, he says.

Management, however, has a completely different view of the situation.

Vice president: – I am very puzzled

Anette Haugaard, who is vice president of the DSB, may not at all recognize the anonymous employees ‘ interpretation of the case.

– In the building where the leaders sit, we have been engaged in a major rebuilding. In this connection, discovered one of the leaders visible mold, which is why we moved them to the other premises. We put a thorough test in time, as 1. march confirmed the mold.

According to the employees, who have contacted us, they would have an examination of their premises in the same moment, but it declined in the. How can it be?

– It is not true. As we moved the heads, we put a test in the time of pauselokalerne, which was carried 11. march, where we got the report 18. march. It showed that there was a bit of sponge in one of the rooms, but during the grænseniveauet. We moved the employees 18.-22. march. We think we have acted resolutely.

– The employees, who have contacted us, feel disadvantaged compared to the leaders. What do you say to it?

– It has absolutely nothing on themselves. We investigated, of course, the building where the problem was, first. We got a report quickly in time. If pauselokalerne had been closer to the original findested, had we studied it first and moved them first.

– From what you say, it seems strange that there should be employees who are dissatisfied with your handling of the case?

– Yes, I am also very puzzled over. It is my belief that we have acted as quickly as we could.

– In an internal mail makes Of aware that the leaders were upset, because they continued to stay in the premises. At the same time writing in, to stay in the pauselokalerne can not be classified in the same way. It sounds as if you have been aware of the risk of mold in the premises, but has said that employees have to use them?

I can not understand, that you conclude. There was visible mold in the leaders, which is why we moved them and put a report in time. As the report showed, that there was much mold, we put a further report in time for adjoining rooms. As soon as we got the report, moved we the employees out.

– Employees do not dare to come forward with the name of the fear of the management. What do you think of it?

I also very surprised. If you look at their trade union’s website and Facebook pages, you will see that we have really high ceilings in the DSB in relation to criticism. I can’t recognize that there was going to be taken hard in favour of the employees, who have criticized the leadership, says Anette Haugaard.
