This just in from the BBC….
Firefighters in Greater Manchester are facing disciplinary action over claims they slept on a station floor instead of their new reclining chairs.
Three men, based in Bury, are being investigated for “involvement in the use of unauthorised rest facilities”.
It is claimed they broke regulations by using sleeping bags on the floor rather than the £400 chairs.
The chairs were installed as part of modernisation programme to replace all beds in the region’s 41 fire stations.
You really have read the rest of the article. It is just unbelievable.
The real crime here is that they took away the guys beds and gave them chairs to sleep on. If I worked a 15 hour shift, I would want a real bed.
