Pfi

This Annual Conference has seen first hand problems surrounding facilities for women at many new build PFI Fire & Rescue Service workplaces. Examples of these problems include: ● Unisex facilities - affording little privacy ● No floor to ceiling partitions on toilets and showers ● Joint locker rooms ● Lack of sanitary machines and sanitary disposal vestibules This Annual Conference believes that the finances required to provide adequate facilities for women at these workplaces are being sacrificed in order to maximise profit for the private companies who have gained the PFI contract. This Annual Conference believes that the above circumstances add further authority to the FBU policy of opposing PFI buildings within the UK Fire & Rescue Service and demands that the Executive Council produce an up to date record of all PFI buildings within the Service which lists the facilities provided for women at each. This record to be produced by the 2007 Women’s AGM.
