Imagine paying your subs for years, only to find that your union has opened the changing room door at your workplace to perverts. Not only that, but the shop stewards, officers and reps who promised to protect your rights as a worker have labelled you a fascist and sided with your employer. This is the reality for millions of employees across the UK — mostly women — who simply want the right to have single-sex facilities.
The Darlington Five are a group of nurses who found themselves in exactly this situation. The women took on their NHS employer after they were told to educate themselves into feeling comfortable with sharing a changing room with a man. But rather than waiting for the brocialists within unions to stand up for them, they set up their own union, the Darlington Nurses’ Union (DNU).
The nurses have alleged that “Rose” stares openly at their breasts when they are in a state of undress and lingers in their changing room “longer than necessary”. The open plan space does not have individual changing cubicles, so the women have no escape from “Rose” when they are undressing. Neither the traumatic backgrounds nor religious sensibilities of the women have been considered, and obviously they have found this situation “intimidating and upsetting”.
When they complained to the hospital’s management about this intolerable situation, the women were ignored. However, they did suddenly find themselves in an “impromptu meeting” at which an HR manager told them they “need to compromise”. They were instructed by HR to “be more inclusive”, “broaden their mindset”, and “be educated and attend training”. Following this offensive and dismissive response, the nurses had no choice but to instigate legal proceedings against County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.
