På kryss og tversså forhåpentligvis slipper vi nye overskrifterom olje i elva i Adresseavisa.Det graves og støpes, blir de ferdig?Nye «Brusignal» – eller Hinderssignal.var det bare å legge den inn igjen, vreirett opp, den klikket på plass. Flaut,men vi nekta bare de reisende å ta enrøyk på Levanger, så tok vi raskt innforsinkelsen, og var i rute fra Steinkjer.Arbeid på MarienborgI nesten hele vinter har man gravd inærheten av dieselfyllinga. Hva er detsom skjer har jeg lurt. Det graves ogstøpes fortsatt, men jeg har funnet ut atdet skal bli en olje/ vannutskiller.Dermed skal det bli slutt på at det lekkerdiesel ut i Nidelven. NSB har lengenok vært et miljøsvin på dette området.Det har tatt sin tid, men går jo framoverBrusignalI de nye forskriftene var det ikke plasstil brusignal lenger. Vi i Trondheim harderfor levd uten disse i lang tid.Trafikken har nå gått som vanlig likevel.Nå er den tiden slutt, nye signaler skalopp. Nå heter det Hindersignal, men såenkelt er det nok ikke. På Nidelvbruablinker ikke signalet, her har man fåttopp «håndsignal». Jeg lurte på hvemsom skulle stå der og holde flaggene,men ble skuffet. Hvit flagg var plassertpå stang ved sporet. Det blir spennendeå se om de blir stående helt til en erferdig med hele veiomleggingen i området.Visste dere at?• Verden har fra 1990 brukt mer oljeenn en finner av nye forekomsterhvert år• Nå brukes det 60 % mer olje enn enfinner hvert år• At det har blitt drept 55 000 i terroraksjonersiden 11. september 2001• At det de siste 40 år (etter 1968) harblitt drept 128/ år av terror i Vest-Europa• At det gjennomsnittlig er drept 80/ årav terror i USA etter 11. september,det dør flere av peanøttallergi hvert år.• At det drepes 40 000 pr år på veiene iUSA, 50 000 i Vest-Europa.

Norwegian railway women survey femaleloco drivers to test equality progressIn 2009, ITF affiliate Norsk Lokomotivmannsforbund surveyedthe women loco drivers in Norway to find out if there were issuesrelating to equal opportunities in the occupation and to collectideas for the union’s future work.Whilst the survey, answered by 23 women (37%), revealed nosignificant problems relating to equality, some general issueswere raised including toilet facilities, the need for separaterestrooms, ergonomic design of cabs, and opportunities forflexible working relating to childcare.NLF woman loco driver takes part inthe ITF Railway Action DayPreviously women who worked as loco drivers had a background in electronic workplaces, as suchexperience was necessary. The survey identified that women loco drivers were now being recruitedfrom different backgrounds. Furthermore, many women were planning to apply for driving teacher andinstructor positions once they had been long enough in the occupation to be qualified (three years).The survey also revealed that, in general, the women were satisfied with the union. More than half ofthe respondents said they would be available to take on roles in the union. Newly-educated women,however, generally had little relationship with the union.The survey was conducted by a specially set-up union committee of women representatives and wasthe first time that such a survey had been carried out. It was also done at a time when the number ofwomen in this occupation is increasing; previously the role had traditionally been occupied by men.The union’s aim was to survey whether changes in the demographics of the workforce and unionmembership had created a need for change in union tasks.Based on the survey results, the committee made several suggestions including encouraging womento apply for locomotive engineering education; ensuring women are represented in promotionalmaterials for loco driving; for the union to be more active in the social debate relating to child care.The committee also recommended the union create a ‘gender equality coordinator’ to assist withraising awareness and ensuring implementation of workers’ rights connected to parental leave. Fewcompanies have experience on this issue. The union has also established an education programme toprepare members to stand for senior union positions – two of the six delegates in the currentprogramme are women. The union reports that the number of women participating in union work isincreasing. There are 1,500 loco drivers in Norway (5% women). All drivers are organised. Almost half of women locomotive drivers (46%) are aged between 30-40 years. 9 of the 23 respondents are driving teachers/instructors. This is 26% of those that are qualified. One woman has a leadership position in the company. More than half of respondents have a position in the union. Six are local union board members. Half of respondents had some earlier relationship to the railways (e.g. family or friends working inrailways or experience in other railway occupations)Edited information from Grethe Thorsen – Norsk LokomotivmannsforbundFaksmile fra ITFs Kvinnebulleteng.Issue No.2 (2010)L O K O M O T I V M A N D S T I D E N D E N R . 6 / 7 - 2 0 1 02 1
