00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:22,247
Dagenham,
on London's River Thames...
2
00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:25,334
...is one of the great anvils
of the motor industry.
3
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:27,836
At this and other plants,
Ford of Britain...
4
00:01:28,004 --> 00:01:31,298
...shape and fashion 3000 cars
every day.
5
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:34,259
The biggest single
motor manufacturer in all Europe...
6
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:36,428
...and fourth biggest in the world.
7
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:39,681
Ford of Britain can produce
3100 vehicles a day...
8
00:01:39,849 --> 00:01:42,142
...and 1.5 million
of the Ford Cortinas...
9
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:45,646
Under the stylish bonnet,
a smooth, silent V4 engine.
10
00:01:45,814 --> 00:01:49,024
Luxurious seats.
Handsome all around.
11
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:50,609
Slip away in style.
12
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:52,736
Located in five European countries...
13
00:01:52,904 --> 00:01:56,365
...Ford facilities now occupy
more than seven square miles...
14
00:01:56,533 --> 00:02:00,702
...with a total covered floor space
of almost 42 million square feet.
15
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:35,112
Eileen, you got more support there
than the Arsenal.
16
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,366
- At least I ain't got bee stings for tits.
- Oh, all right. Cheeky.
17
00:02:39,534 --> 00:02:42,578
Desmond Dekker stirring up a storm
with "Israelites"...
18
00:02:42,745 --> 00:02:45,080
...on the hottest day of the year
so far.
19
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:48,876
So, girls, don't forget your bikinis
and try and stay cool.
20
00:02:54,299 --> 00:02:55,382
Here we go.
21
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:14,067
Connie? When you get a moment,
can you just have a walkthrough?
22
00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:16,278
Just give me five minutes
to settle in.
23
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:18,947
Morning. Morning, morning.
24
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:21,700
- Everything all right?
- Yeah, I overslept.
25
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:23,577
How's George?
26
00:03:23,745 --> 00:03:26,288
Don't ask.
I've been up half the night.
27
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:29,249
You're all right, you've got time.
28
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:51,104
Man!
29
00:03:56,694 --> 00:04:00,322
Ladies, if I could
interrupt you a second...
30
00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:02,824
- Come on. Cover up.
- Please, please, behave.
31
00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:06,161
Cover yourselves.
Cover yourselves up.
32
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:09,289
- Oh, here he is.
- What if your husbands saw you?
33
00:04:09,457 --> 00:04:12,000
What would they say, eh?
34
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:16,171
Come on, girls, this is important!
35
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:18,507
Thank you, Connie. Thank you.
36
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:22,761
Shut up! Now, shut up.
37
00:04:23,221 --> 00:04:25,430
Do you wanna hear
what I gotta say or not?
38
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:27,140
- Yeah.
- Right.
39
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:29,226
Now, listen.
40
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:32,354
To quote
Winston Churchill himself...
41
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:36,233
...this ain't the end. It ain't even
the beginning of the end.
42
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:38,527
Oh, for fuck's sake, get on with it.
43
00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,822
- Get on!
- Look, ladies, please.
44
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:44,157
- I'm doing me best.
- Oh, come on.
45
00:04:44,325 --> 00:04:47,286
Now, the deadline
we set the management...
46
00:04:47,453 --> 00:04:50,038
...to respond to our complaint...
47
00:04:50,206 --> 00:04:54,042
...about how they've
regraded you unskilled...
48
00:04:55,586 --> 00:04:59,464
...has now passed. Shut up!
49
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:03,218
Which means you've gotta vote...
50
00:05:04,595 --> 00:05:08,598
...on the threat we made
in the original communiqué.
51
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:12,644
An immediate ban on all overtime.
Right?
52
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:18,066
And a one-day stoppage
to take place on the 29th of May.
53
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:22,195
All right? You got that? Right, now...
54
00:05:22,363 --> 00:05:26,908
...those for industrial action,
hands up.
55
00:05:27,368 --> 00:05:29,369
Yes.
56
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:37,336
Against?
57
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:47,220
Full house!
58
00:05:55,897 --> 00:05:58,482
I'm seeing the management
tomorrow morning...
59
00:05:58,649 --> 00:06:01,651
...and I shall inform them
of your decision.
60
00:06:01,819 --> 00:06:03,445
Isn't he gorgeous?
61
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:08,450
- We did it.
- First time for everything.
62
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:11,912
Fuck them. Every other bugger
goes on strike, why shouldn't we?
63
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,624
Just don't put it like that
if you get interviewed by David Frost.
64
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:18,794
- David Frost.
- I know what you think about him.
65
00:06:19,962 --> 00:06:21,797
It's a bit scary, isn't it?
66
00:06:21,964 --> 00:06:24,966
- I feel quite proud of us.
- You should.
67
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:28,136
I fought Rommel in the war,
you know?
68
00:06:28,304 --> 00:06:33,433
I wasn't once scared like I am
when I walk in there, I tell you.
69
00:06:42,443 --> 00:06:45,320
- Happy birthday, Sandra.
- Thanks, Eddie.
70
00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:48,156
- Isn't it lovely what they did?
- Come on, get up.
71
00:06:48,324 --> 00:06:49,658
Are you coming, George?
72
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:52,035
- No.
- Go on then.
73
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:53,662
- Come on, you come.
- Connie.
74
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,163
Spoilsport.
75
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:02,254
Happy birthday, darling.
76
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:04,339
- Thanks.
- Happy birthday.
77
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:06,633
- Have a wonderful time.
- Thanks, Albert.
78
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:20,564
- Oh, leave it out, Dave!
- It's all right, it's the fuse box.
79
00:07:20,731 --> 00:07:24,443
- Calm down.
- Of course it's the bleeding fuse box.
80
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:26,987
- Right.
- Oh, no, here he goes.
81
00:07:27,155 --> 00:07:29,156
Altogether now.
82
00:07:31,242 --> 00:07:33,034
It's bloody Liberace.
83
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:44,546
Oh, God.
84
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,843
Where do you reckon
Brenda's got to?
85
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:51,845
Where do you think?
86
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:54,181
- You're joking.
- No.
87
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:08,487
Your trim. That'll be hanging
right off in a week or two.
88
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:11,448
And I bet I know the girl what sewed it,
and all.
89
00:08:11,949 --> 00:08:15,243
Come on, then.
Chop-chop, or we'll miss the buffet.
90
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:19,915
Want another one, anyone?
91
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:21,374
- I'll have one.
- Yeah.
92
00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:23,043
- George?
- No.
93
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:25,170
- I'll be up all night.
- Come on, mate.
94
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:27,339
- Connie, yeah?
- Yeah, yeah. Please.
95
00:08:28,883 --> 00:08:30,342
- Come on.
- Just a little one.
96
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:33,595
G & T, half a mild. Dave? Salt.
97
00:08:33,763 --> 00:08:36,389
- Whole lemons.
- Who's next on the dance floor?
98
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:40,435
You sure you don't
wanna sit down, Sandra?
99
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,938
Are you joking? I want a snowball.
100
00:08:43,105 --> 00:08:45,774
George, you ain't even
tripped the old... Come on.
101
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:47,943
- No, no, no. It's all right.
- Please.
102
00:08:48,110 --> 00:08:50,278
Do you mind, George,
if I have this one?
103
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:53,740
Like to keep me hand in.
Jitterbug, twist, all them.
104
00:08:53,908 --> 00:08:56,535
You be careful. We need you
on top form tomorrow.
105
00:08:56,702 --> 00:08:58,912
What you talking about?
106
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,747
Fantastic.
107
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:04,584
- No, no, no. Not being funny.
- All right. All right.
108
00:09:05,336 --> 00:09:06,419
- Good night.
- Thanks.
109
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:08,255
- Sandra. Sandra.
- Sleep well.
110
00:09:08,422 --> 00:09:09,464
Sandra.
111
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:11,258
Happy birthday.
112
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:14,427
- Good night.
- Be good.
113
00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:16,763
Hang on. I don't live here.
114
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,724
- Wait.
- What?
115
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:26,565
- Now, what was that for?
- Nothing. I just like you, that's all.
116
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:30,151
- Yeah? Come here.
- Hey.
117
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:34,656
- What are you doing?
- Not out here.
118
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:38,493
- You're better than that, are you?
- Actually, yeah, I am.
119
00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:09,608
Graham? Graham. Breakfast.
120
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:12,777
There you go.
121
00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:16,489
- I don't feel very well.
- Don't you?
122
00:10:18,034 --> 00:10:19,868
- You're not hot.
- It's my stomach.
123
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:23,872
Okay, what's wrong with your hand?
124
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,123
Nothing.
125
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,250
Well, give us a look, then.
126
00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:29,044
No.
127
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:35,216
I never done nothing. Honest.
128
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:38,011
Mr. Clarke again?
129
00:10:39,555 --> 00:10:41,640
It'll be fine, okay?
130
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:45,727
Now, eat some breakfast
and get dressed. I'll deal with it.
131
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,813
Sharon? Chop-chop.
132
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:56,905
- Eddie. Come on, lover boy.
- No, no, just clear off, I'm dying.
133
00:10:57,198 --> 00:11:00,408
We're all dying.
We've all gotta go to work.
134
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:05,080
Eddie?
135
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:12,420
Oh, you cheeky cow. Come here.
136
00:11:18,719 --> 00:11:20,345
God.
137
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,347
Balls.
138
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:26,059
Balls, balls, balls. Bollocks.
139
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:37,278
Yes?
140
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:47,831
Mr. Clarke? Can I have a word?
141
00:11:48,624 --> 00:11:50,959
Of course. How can I help?
142
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:53,920
You hit my son.
143
00:11:56,298 --> 00:11:58,591
On his hand. Caned him.
144
00:11:58,801 --> 00:12:00,802
And it ain't the first time.
145
00:12:02,763 --> 00:12:05,765
Yes. O'Grady. I remember.
146
00:12:05,933 --> 00:12:09,310
Forgot his protractor.
And it isn't the first ti...
147
00:12:09,478 --> 00:12:13,148
Don't care whether it's the hundredth
time. I don't want you doing it.
148
00:12:14,775 --> 00:12:17,485
You live on the estate, don't you?
149
00:12:18,946 --> 00:12:21,489
- I don't see what that's got...
- We find boys...
150
00:12:21,657 --> 00:12:24,701
...who come to us from the estate
often have difficulty...
151
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:29,330
...in adjusting to the standards of
behavior required in a school like this.
152
00:12:29,498 --> 00:12:32,083
It isn't really their fault.
153
00:12:33,169 --> 00:12:37,589
Their parents have never undergone
the full rigor of academic life.
154
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:41,509
The boys can hardly look to them
for guidance, can they?
155
00:12:43,387 --> 00:12:45,680
But they do adapt in time.
156
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:49,976
And I'm sure your son will too,
if he's just given the chance.
157
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:56,065
But thank you for your concern,
Mrs. O'Grady.
158
00:13:10,372 --> 00:13:13,041
- Are you all right?
- Fuck off.
159
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:26,137
- Hold on, is this Sandra's?
- Yeah, I know.
160
00:13:26,555 --> 00:13:29,224
Connie? Con?
161
00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:31,684
Sandra's at it again, look.
162
00:13:31,852 --> 00:13:34,312
- You've gotta say something.
- She hasn't.
163
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,481
You've gotta talk to her.
164
00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:39,734
Don't wave at us, silly cow.
We're moaning about you.
165
00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:42,487
- I'll do it.
- No, you can't keep covering for her.
166
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:45,240
- I'll talk to her.
- Will you?
167
00:13:48,244 --> 00:13:51,246
Here it comes. Oh, no.
168
00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:56,084
Look at that. We might as well
not have a roof.
169
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:58,419
How many times have we asked
to fix this?
170
00:13:58,587 --> 00:14:00,004
It's not difficult, is it?
171
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:02,924
- Connie, listen.
- Albert.
172
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:05,760
I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Oh, my God.
173
00:14:07,263 --> 00:14:10,890
- I didn't realize. I'm sorry. Oh, God.
- You were saying?
174
00:14:12,351 --> 00:14:14,352
There's a meeting tomorrow.
175
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,730
At Ford's headquarters
down in Warley.
176
00:14:17,898 --> 00:14:20,233
- You're joking.
- I'm not.
177
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:24,070
Machinists threatening strike action,
they couldn't believe it.
178
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:25,280
- Oh, yes.
- Yeah.
179
00:14:25,447 --> 00:14:27,448
We'll have to make a good strategy.
180
00:14:27,616 --> 00:14:32,120
They'll have Hopkins and Jones
and Grant, miserable sod.
181
00:14:32,454 --> 00:14:35,290
Now, who have we got on our side?
We've got...
182
00:14:35,457 --> 00:14:38,293
...Monty Taylor
from the head office, he's coming.
183
00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:41,296
There's me, two. You, Con, three.
184
00:14:41,463 --> 00:14:44,924
- Well, that leaves us one short.
- Why?
185
00:14:45,092 --> 00:14:47,719
Little principle I picked up
in the war, Eileen.
186
00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:51,639
Turn up with more on your side
than they've got on their side...
187
00:14:51,807 --> 00:14:54,225
...and turn up
when they're least expecting it.
188
00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:56,477
So who's gonna
make the fourth man?
189
00:14:56,645 --> 00:14:58,104
- Oh, not me.
- I'm not going.
190
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:01,983
Any takers? No?
191
00:15:02,484 --> 00:15:05,486
- You want it?
- Fuck off.
192
00:15:05,821 --> 00:15:07,947
Come on. It's a day off.
193
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:11,701
- Oh, actually.
- Yeah, you all wanna go now. Yeah.
194
00:15:11,869 --> 00:15:13,995
I ain't having that.
195
00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:18,666
What?
196
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:22,003
- Yeah.
- Go on, Rita. Day off.
197
00:15:22,171 --> 00:15:25,423
- Go on, Rita.
- You'd be great, Rita.
198
00:15:28,552 --> 00:15:30,470
Go on, then.
199
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:33,264
Yeah, right. What do you have to do?
200
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:36,392
- All right, Gordon?
- Hello, Sandra.
201
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,854
- Think you're going?
- It's the new Escort. Finally designed...
202
00:15:40,022 --> 00:15:42,857
...something people like.
- They can get fucked.
203
00:15:43,025 --> 00:15:45,526
- That's right.
- We ain't working no overtime.
204
00:15:45,694 --> 00:15:48,571
Me and the boys were saying
we'd have gone on strike...
205
00:15:48,739 --> 00:15:51,449
...just having to turn up
in a pig hole like this.
206
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:55,370
- You know it's raining here, don't you?
- Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
207
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:58,373
- See you tomorrow, Connie.
- I think he likes you.
208
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:01,793
It's going, it's going. The police
are being pushed backwards.
209
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:05,338
There's screaming now.
Absolute hysteria.
210
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:08,383
Now you can see the banners
are being used as clubs...
211
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,176
No, they don't want so much.
212
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:12,136
No, look what you're doing...
213
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:14,055
- Sharon?
- Don't open my share.
214
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:17,308
Turn the telly off now,
there's a good girl. Now, please.
215
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,727
Wake your dad up.
216
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:24,649
Wake up, Dad.
217
00:16:26,193 --> 00:16:28,486
Right. Pull your finger out.
Help your mum.
218
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:32,365
Square eyes, what have I told you?
219
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:37,328
Dad, Martine Clarke's got color.
I've seen it.
220
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,747
Martine Clarke's got color, has she?
221
00:16:39,915 --> 00:16:43,042
We'll go around her house
and watch it after tea, won't we?
222
00:16:43,210 --> 00:16:45,169
Her mum'll be pleased.
223
00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:48,423
Look, we'll have color soon.
Once you can rent them.
224
00:16:48,590 --> 00:16:50,383
Eddie, don't go promising color.
225
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:53,386
We haven't even paid
for the fridge yet.
226
00:16:53,554 --> 00:16:56,180
And the three piece is still on tick.
227
00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:59,434
- Now we've got all this unrest at work.
- What unrest?
228
00:17:01,937 --> 00:17:05,106
Oh, that? You had a vote, Rita.
229
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:09,736
Unrest is when you actually
come out and strike. Blimey.
230
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:12,447
No, don't look like that.
I'm only joking.
231
00:17:12,614 --> 00:17:13,740
All right.
232
00:17:13,907 --> 00:17:16,451
I'm proud of you.
We all are, aren't we?
233
00:17:16,618 --> 00:17:19,787
Sticking to your guns. We had
a book going on the shop floor.
234
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,582
No one thought you'd
even take the vote so...
235
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:24,959
...yeah, good on you. Well done.
236
00:17:27,629 --> 00:17:29,047
Ain't just a vote now.
237
00:17:31,258 --> 00:17:35,553
Got a meeting tomorrow,
all the bosses.
238
00:17:36,805 --> 00:17:38,681
And I'm going.
239
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:45,480
It's all right, I'll plate your tea up
in the morning...
240
00:17:45,647 --> 00:17:48,775
...and then if I'm back late,
you can just heat it through.
241
00:17:50,110 --> 00:17:54,614
Apparently, you go to a Berni Inn
on the way there.
242
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:02,914
- That's snazzy.
- Isn't it?
243
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:07,919
It'll be all right, won't it?
244
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:10,213
Yeah, of course.
245
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:14,092
We don't have to do anything.
The men will do all the talking.
246
00:18:14,802 --> 00:18:18,387
No, I mean, it's not too posh
in there, is it?
247
00:18:18,555 --> 00:18:22,475
- I'm wearing the right stuff?
- No, you'll be fine.
248
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:24,894
I'm so glad you're here.
249
00:18:25,646 --> 00:18:28,564
- After you, ladies.
- Gentlemen.
250
00:18:28,732 --> 00:18:29,774
Thank you.
251
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:33,194
- Here you are, sir.
- Lovely.
252
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:40,284
- Do you ever worry about your waist?
- You're joking.
253
00:18:40,452 --> 00:18:44,956
That steak. Béarnaise sauce.
254
00:18:45,374 --> 00:18:47,708
It's Monty. He always insists
on coming here.
255
00:18:47,876 --> 00:18:50,044
As long as the union's paying.
256
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:55,424
- Rita.
- Yeah.
257
00:18:55,592 --> 00:18:57,135
Word of advice.
258
00:18:57,636 --> 00:19:01,305
When we get there,
don't let them lure you in.
259
00:19:01,682 --> 00:19:03,891
If they seem to be
asking you a question...
260
00:19:04,059 --> 00:19:06,394
...keep your head down. I'll handle it.
261
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:11,065
Above all, if I nod, you nod.
Got that?
262
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:14,527
Right.
263
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:17,071
- That nice, was it?
- It's lovely, thank you.
264
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:18,990
I couldn't eat another thing.
265
00:19:20,742 --> 00:19:23,661
Mr. Dawson. I'm sorry,
we weren't expecting you until...
266
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:26,873
It's quite all right. It's no problem.
267
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:31,419
And there's four of us.
You might need an extra chair.
268
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:33,671
Right.
269
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:39,969
Two teas.
270
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,139
On a previous occasion...
271
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:47,059
...in a free vote, the girls agreed
to the new grading structure.
272
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:51,105
They did not agree, however,
as to where they would end up on it.
273
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:53,608
Which is why we're sitting
round this table.
274
00:19:56,987 --> 00:20:01,282
Look, I understand what the girls
are saying. I just don't...
275
00:20:01,450 --> 00:20:04,285
I'd rather you didn't speak for the girls,
Mr. Hopkins.
276
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:07,455
None of us here
knows what's in their heads.
277
00:20:07,623 --> 00:20:11,125
The fact remains there's a formal
grievance procedure in place...
278
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:13,544
...and the machinists' case
will be heard.
279
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:15,963
What we can't do
is let them jump the queue.
280
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:18,466
Peter, look...
281
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:22,720
...you know me.
I ain't got no ax to grind with Ford.
282
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:25,598
- Am I right or am I right?
- You've always been fair.
283
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:29,685
Exactly. We're all men of the world.
284
00:20:30,312 --> 00:20:34,732
Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
We'll reconvene in two weeks' time.
285
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,860
- Monty.
- Listen.
286
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:41,906
We'll reconvene, we'll come back
down here again for the day...
287
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:45,409
...and then at that point
you can guarantee...
288
00:20:45,661 --> 00:20:47,662
...to look into the girls' complaint.
289
00:20:47,829 --> 00:20:50,623
- The thing is, Monty...
- That way...
290
00:20:51,124 --> 00:20:54,669
...you can go back to your bosses
and say that the strike's off...
291
00:20:54,836 --> 00:20:57,797
...because of how you've
handled today's negotiations.
292
00:20:57,965 --> 00:21:02,802
We can go back to the girls and say
they're now your number-one priority...
293
00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:04,845
...in a few weeks' time.
294
00:21:08,809 --> 00:21:09,892
That seems very fair.
295
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,228
I'm not so sure
the girls'll be too happy.
296
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:14,313
The girls will be fine.
297
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:18,067
As long as they know they're not being
fobbed off by the management.
298
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:21,946
The union's setting the terms.
That's what's important.
299
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:23,531
- Bollocks.
- What?
300
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,828
I'm sorry, Albert, but it is.
301
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:33,582
Three hours we've been sat here.
302
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:35,793
"That's what matters to the girls"?
303
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:38,838
How you qualify to talk about that,
I do not know.
304
00:21:40,882 --> 00:21:43,217
Here. Have a look at this.
305
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:48,014
There.
306
00:21:50,809 --> 00:21:52,727
You put them together. Go on.
307
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:57,189
- It's Ford property, I believe.
- Oh, stop it.
308
00:21:57,357 --> 00:22:02,069
We have to take these different pieces
and work out how they go together.
309
00:22:02,237 --> 00:22:04,405
Because there ain't no template,
is there?
310
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:09,243
We have to take them and sew them
all freehand into the finished article.
311
00:22:09,411 --> 00:22:12,455
The same with the door trim
and God knows what else.
312
00:22:12,622 --> 00:22:16,584
That is not unskilled work,
which is how you've regraded us.
313
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:21,422
Christ, you need to take an exam
to get on our line.
314
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,425
- Please, miss, l...
- No, it's Mrs. O'Grady.
315
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:27,762
Mrs. O'Grady,
I understand your grievance...
316
00:22:27,929 --> 00:22:32,600
Well, I really don't think you do.
It's not difficult, though.
317
00:22:32,768 --> 00:22:36,604
We're entitled to semi-skilled
and the wages what go with it.
318
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:39,106
- Bring this to the meeting...
- Hang on.
319
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:43,444
And as regards to this
queue-jumping business, well...
320
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:46,989
...we put this complaint in months ago,
didn't we?
321
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:49,700
It's just you've done nothing about it.
322
00:22:50,327 --> 00:22:51,702
And we all know why.
323
00:22:51,870 --> 00:22:55,289
That's because women have never
been on strike before, isn't it?
324
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:59,543
You just thought you could forget it
and we'd all go away. Well, I'm sorry...
325
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:03,297
...but it isn't gonna be that easy
because we're not going anywhere.
326
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:06,342
We're gonna do
what we said we would.
327
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:11,430
No more overtime
and an immediate 24-hour stoppage.
328
00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:21,774
And where it goes from there,
well, it's up to you.
329
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,988
If you'll excuse me, I've really
got to be going. Thank you very much.
330
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:32,910
Thank you.
331
00:23:34,454 --> 00:23:37,456
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Thank you.
332
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:54,598
- You think I like looking stupid?
- I didn't know what she was gonna do.
333
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:57,852
You didn't know they were
in her handbag, pull them out?
334
00:23:58,311 --> 00:24:01,439
- Look at his face.
- Oh, don't worry, you were great.
335
00:24:01,606 --> 00:24:04,275
Thank you very much, Albert.
Thank you very much.
336
00:24:12,576 --> 00:24:15,077
I knew, I knew. It's up here, you see.
337
00:24:15,245 --> 00:24:17,705
I wanted clever, Rita,
that's why I picked you.
338
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:20,749
- Oh, stop it.
- When you pulled out these cuttings...
339
00:24:20,917 --> 00:24:23,210
...oh, that was amazing.
340
00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:27,047
It was. I never expected that,
that you'd come prepared.
341
00:24:28,049 --> 00:24:30,176
Oh, no, he was right.
I was nicking them.
342
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:36,140
Yeah, Eddie uses them to patch
the tent up for when we go camping.
343
00:24:38,101 --> 00:24:42,897
All the same. Listen, don't worry about
Monty, I'll handle him. Don't worry.
344
00:24:43,064 --> 00:24:44,732
- Can I have them back?
- Oh, yeah.
345
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:46,066
Cheers.
346
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:53,949
What are you gonna say to them?
347
00:24:54,409 --> 00:24:56,202
- You tell them.
- You what?
348
00:24:56,369 --> 00:24:57,536
This is your fault.
349
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:02,124
All right. Hold that.
350
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:14,595
Right.
351
00:25:19,851 --> 00:25:20,935
Everybody out.
352
00:25:22,437 --> 00:25:24,271
I can't believe it.
353
00:25:35,325 --> 00:25:37,368
It's all right.
354
00:25:44,751 --> 00:25:46,293
I could do with a cup of tea.
355
00:25:46,461 --> 00:25:49,129
I could do with something
a lot stronger than that.
356
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,893
Now, I realize this is my first day
in the job...
357
00:26:03,061 --> 00:26:06,146
...and it may be
that I am missing something here...
358
00:26:06,314 --> 00:26:09,817
...but when we were elected
two years ago...
359
00:26:09,985 --> 00:26:11,986
...it was on a wave of optimism...
360
00:26:12,153 --> 00:26:15,948
...that Labour would utilize
its close relationship with the unions...
361
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:20,786
...to develop manufacturing industry
so that it would better serve...
362
00:26:20,954 --> 00:26:24,039
...the employer and the employee.
363
00:26:24,207 --> 00:26:26,417
Yes, I think that was
in the manifesto.
364
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:28,335
It was. Trust me.
365
00:26:28,878 --> 00:26:33,132
So, what have you been doing
since 1966?
366
00:26:34,676 --> 00:26:37,303
- L...
- Two years this department has had...
367
00:26:37,470 --> 00:26:40,097
...in which to make a difference.
368
00:26:42,017 --> 00:26:46,186
Shall we see what has been achieved
in the last 12 months?
369
00:26:47,689 --> 00:26:50,858
Twenty-six thousand strikes
in the United Kingdom...
370
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:56,071
...with the resulting loss
of 5 million working days.
371
00:26:58,033 --> 00:27:01,160
Unions and management
barely talking to each other...
372
00:27:01,328 --> 00:27:04,705
...productivity levels
through the floor...
373
00:27:04,873 --> 00:27:09,835
...and our balance of payments,
the wrong side of catastrophic.
374
00:27:10,879 --> 00:27:14,298
It's hardly the stuff to set
the champagne corks popping, is it?
375
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:25,559
Thank you. See yourselves out.
376
00:27:30,273 --> 00:27:32,524
Here you are, babes,
you forgot your flask.
377
00:27:32,692 --> 00:27:35,694
- I love you, Dave. Cheers.
- You too, darling. Good luck.
378
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:37,571
You get stuck in, girls.
379
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:39,198
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
380
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:41,492
- Monica, that's yours.
- Cheers, love.
381
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,288
Happy with that.
382
00:27:46,456 --> 00:27:49,249
- It's a holiday.
- What's this? A mothers' meeting?
383
00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:51,752
Hey, cheeky sod. Are you all right?
384
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,213
- How you getting on?
- Give us half a chance.
385
00:27:54,381 --> 00:27:56,507
- Good luck.
- See you later.
386
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:58,384
Come on, ladies, let's hear you.
387
00:27:58,551 --> 00:28:02,388
- Bye. See you later.
- Cheers, Eddie.
388
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:04,765
What have you done to your eyes?
389
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:07,518
It's amazing, isn't it?
My friend showed me how.
390
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:10,396
Scouts everywhere.
That's how Twiggy got discovered.
391
00:28:10,563 --> 00:28:13,023
Up west, you dozy sod,
not Dagenham.
392
00:28:13,191 --> 00:28:14,358
You never know.
393
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,193
We'd better shut this gate.
394
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:19,113
I've spelt it right, haven't I?
395
00:28:20,115 --> 00:28:22,366
Close the gate.
396
00:28:24,494 --> 00:28:27,329
I know.
At least they know we're serious, eh?
397
00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:29,248
Not as helpless as they thought.
398
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:31,583
Come on then, girls.
399
00:28:31,751 --> 00:28:33,877
No more seats today, Mr. Ford.
400
00:28:34,045 --> 00:28:37,965
- Come on, girls, let's get together.
- What if we form a line or something?
401
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:39,466
- Line up there.
- Yeah.
402
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:40,676
Hold the banners up.
403
00:28:40,844 --> 00:28:42,803
- We need some in the back.
- Standing?
404
00:28:42,971 --> 00:28:44,430
- Like that.
- Come on, then.
405
00:28:46,766 --> 00:28:48,142
That's it.
406
00:28:48,309 --> 00:28:49,393
Here we go.
407
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:52,312
- Like this?
- Yeah.
408
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:14,710
They're running low
on finished seats.
409
00:29:14,878 --> 00:29:17,838
So get these down
to the Cortina line...
410
00:29:18,006 --> 00:29:19,840
...then come back for the Escorts.
411
00:29:22,927 --> 00:29:25,721
- They're calling.
- Come on.
412
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:47,868
- Anyone fancy a cuppa?
- Yeah.
413
00:29:48,286 --> 00:29:51,038
- Tea's up, ladies.
- Come on.
414
00:29:53,249 --> 00:29:54,625
Yeah, put that down a bit.
415
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:56,710
That's gonna hurt your arms.
416
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,552
Get me Tooley.
417
00:30:11,017 --> 00:30:13,435
Stand by, girls, could be trouble.
418
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:18,065
- Hello, girls.
- What's Brenda got?
419
00:30:18,233 --> 00:30:22,277
Tea's up. Bananas, apples, pears,
the lot.
420
00:30:24,155 --> 00:30:26,323
Thanks for the ride, Arthur.
421
00:30:29,244 --> 00:30:31,245
- He's lovely.
- Brenda, you never.
422
00:30:31,412 --> 00:30:33,163
- Why not? He's gorgeous.
- I would.
423
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:35,791
Just as I was leaving with the fruit,
he goes:
424
00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:39,628
"I believe all the workers of the world
should unite." So I thought:
425
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:42,130
"I can help you
with that one straight away."
426
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:44,216
So I did.
427
00:30:52,934 --> 00:30:55,394
Hey, Peter. Bobby here.
What can I do for you?
428
00:30:55,937 --> 00:30:58,272
We've got another dispute,
I'm afraid.
429
00:30:58,439 --> 00:31:01,191
Another one? Who is it this week?
430
00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:05,028
It's the women.
431
00:31:11,661 --> 00:31:12,744
Quick. Quick, quick.
432
00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:15,414
Come along, girls.
433
00:31:15,582 --> 00:31:17,958
You're gonna get soaked, love.
434
00:31:22,505 --> 00:31:25,299
Oh, no. They're gonna drip,
aren't they?
435
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,718
- It'll pass.
- What are we gonna do now?
436
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:29,553
- Pubs ain't even open.
- Monica.
437
00:31:30,847 --> 00:31:32,639
Just wanna have some chips.
438
00:31:32,807 --> 00:31:35,100
I suppose we've done a full day,
haven't we?
439
00:31:35,268 --> 00:31:36,977
- We have, haven't we?
- Yeah.
440
00:31:37,145 --> 00:31:39,688
I have gotta get down the dogs later.
441
00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:42,149
Yeah. I did promise my mum
I'd cook her tea.
442
00:31:42,317 --> 00:31:43,442
- Did you?
- Yeah.
443
00:31:44,986 --> 00:31:48,488
Oh, sod it. We've registered
the protest, haven't we?
444
00:31:48,656 --> 00:31:50,490
Yeah.
445
00:31:50,825 --> 00:31:53,493
- Go on. School's out.
- Yeah!
446
00:31:53,661 --> 00:31:55,829
Home time.
447
00:31:56,205 --> 00:31:57,998
Onwards and upwards, Rita.
448
00:31:58,166 --> 00:32:00,876
- Well done, girls.
- See you.
449
00:32:01,044 --> 00:32:05,130
Hey, and Rita, well done.
450
00:32:05,673 --> 00:32:08,675
It was your gob what got us here,
wasn't it?
451
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:13,513
Sandra?
452
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:42,459
I've just been round to your house.
453
00:32:47,006 --> 00:32:49,549
- I've just been round to your house.
- Why?
454
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,885
I thought you would've
gone home ages ago.
455
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:53,220
No.
456
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:57,015
I'm lucky if I can get the lads
to hold out for a full hour.
457
00:32:57,183 --> 00:33:00,894
Look, I wanted a little chat.
458
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:02,729
You fancy a cup of tea?
459
00:33:02,897 --> 00:33:06,024
- I can't. I'm sorry, I've got stuff to...
- I'm buying.
460
00:33:07,068 --> 00:33:11,321
Go on, then. Seeing as it's pelting
it down, a quick cuppa won't hurt.
461
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:14,116
Over there by the window.
Over there.
462
00:33:14,283 --> 00:33:16,827
I'm dripping all over the floor.
463
00:33:21,457 --> 00:33:23,750
Come on, Albert, spit it out.
464
00:33:23,918 --> 00:33:25,252
Yeah.
465
00:33:26,295 --> 00:33:29,047
- Sorry.
- It's all right.
466
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:33,927
This dispute's got nothing to do
with what skill level you are.
467
00:33:34,095 --> 00:33:38,098
Ford decided to give you less money
because they can.
468
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:42,102
They're allowed to pay women
a lower wage than men.
469
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:45,230
All over the country, Rita,
women are getting less...
470
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:48,150
...because they're women.
471
00:33:48,609 --> 00:33:50,569
You'll always come second.
472
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:54,031
You'll always be fighting over
the scraps.
473
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:57,951
- Until you...
- We get equal pay, yeah.
474
00:34:01,956 --> 00:34:03,623
Yeah.
475
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:08,128
What I don't get is
why it's so important to you.
476
00:34:08,796 --> 00:34:13,133
I got brought up by my mum.
Me and me brothers.
477
00:34:13,301 --> 00:34:15,594
She worked all her life...
478
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:19,973
...and she paid my Aunt Lil
to take care of us during the day.
479
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:21,308
And it was hard.
480
00:34:22,643 --> 00:34:26,605
Especially as she was getting
less than half...
481
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:29,274
...what the blokes
at the factory was getting...
482
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:31,568
...for doing the same work.
483
00:34:33,154 --> 00:34:36,990
And there was never any question
that it could be any different.
484
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:38,158
Not for her.
485
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:41,286
Yeah.
486
00:34:42,288 --> 00:34:45,332
Someone has gotta stop
these exploiting bastards...
487
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:48,919
...getting away with
what they've been doing for years.
488
00:34:49,504 --> 00:34:50,670
And you can.
489
00:34:51,506 --> 00:34:52,839
You can, Rita, believe me.
490
00:34:57,053 --> 00:35:01,473
What about Connie? I mean, she's
shop steward. We voted for her.
491
00:35:01,641 --> 00:35:04,309
But this needs a leader.
492
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:09,689
Someone to inspire the girls,
to make the points clear.
493
00:35:09,857 --> 00:35:13,026
And that ain't Connie.
Not at the moment.
494
00:35:13,486 --> 00:35:16,363
Not with George the way he is.
495
00:35:18,032 --> 00:35:22,536
I've already spoke to her. She's more
than happy for you to have a go.
496
00:35:22,703 --> 00:35:24,496
More than.
497
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:33,672
Look, don't say nothing now.
498
00:35:34,257 --> 00:35:37,634
Just sleep on it. Will you?
499
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:00,115
Do you want to wait in here?
500
00:36:00,908 --> 00:36:03,660
- Do you want to wait in here?
- No, you're all right.
501
00:36:03,828 --> 00:36:06,163
- It's tipping it down. Please.
- I'm dripping.
502
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:09,416
I know. Get in.
503
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:12,836
- I'll get it all over your car.
- Come in, quick, quick, quick.
504
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:14,671
Thank you.
505
00:36:15,256 --> 00:36:17,132
- Oh, my God.
- Gosh, you're soaked.
506
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:18,758
- I'm so sorry.
- It's fine.
507
00:36:18,926 --> 00:36:21,636
- I'll ruin your car.
- We met before, actually.
508
00:36:21,804 --> 00:36:25,891
- Do you remember, in the corridor?
- Yeah.
509
00:36:28,269 --> 00:36:31,563
I've been hoping to run into you
for a day or two, actually.
510
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:33,565
Oh, yeah?
511
00:36:34,775 --> 00:36:38,612
I was wondering if you'd sign a letter.
I'm making a formal complaint...
512
00:36:38,779 --> 00:36:41,573
...to the headmaster
about Clarke's use of the cane.
513
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:42,949
What?
514
00:36:43,117 --> 00:36:45,660
- He seems to think my son...
- Sorry, I mean...
515
00:36:45,828 --> 00:36:47,954
You were there
for the same reason I was?
516
00:36:48,122 --> 00:36:50,790
Yes. He was indiscreet enough
to mention you.
517
00:36:50,958 --> 00:36:52,459
Of course.
518
00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:55,128
I think he was suggesting
we were hysterical...
519
00:36:55,296 --> 00:36:57,339
...and desperately needed
to calm down.
520
00:36:57,506 --> 00:37:00,842
I had it all straight in my head
what I was gonna tell him...
521
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:02,469
...and what I was gonna say.
522
00:37:02,637 --> 00:37:05,138
- It's just...
- Oh, you can't talk to Mr. Clarke.
523
00:37:05,306 --> 00:37:07,974
I mean, nobody can. He...
You have to listen.
524
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:12,229
He's a bully.
Which is why he beats them.
525
00:37:13,189 --> 00:37:14,940
Yeah.
526
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:17,734
Yeah. Go on, then. Give us a pen.
527
00:37:20,154 --> 00:37:21,780
Thanks.
528
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:28,119
- It's stopped.
- Yeah. That's just my luck, isn't it?
529
00:37:30,831 --> 00:37:32,499
Thanks.
530
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,626
Look...
531
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:41,967
...I know you're not mentioning it
because you're being polite. It's just...
532
00:37:42,134 --> 00:37:46,012
You know, when we met in
the corridor, I was really upset...
533
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:49,349
...and I never usually use
that type of language.
534
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:50,850
- Don't you?
- No.
535
00:37:51,018 --> 00:37:54,104
Because I called Mr. Clarke
a complete cock.
536
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:57,607
Did you? Fair enough.
537
00:37:57,858 --> 00:37:59,776
Well, he is.
538
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:06,157
- Here they come.
- Left a bit of a puddle, now.
539
00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:09,369
It's all right, David's getting
in the back.
540
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:22,507
That dress, I've seen it before,
it's lovely. In Vogue.
541
00:38:22,675 --> 00:38:25,051
Oh, thanks. It's Biba.
542
00:38:25,553 --> 00:38:29,556
Is it? Well... Well, it's still gorgeous.
543
00:38:39,025 --> 00:38:42,235
- Have a good day, yeah?
- You too. Be good.
544
00:38:42,403 --> 00:38:44,237
And you.
545
00:38:57,585 --> 00:39:01,004
Hell, Sandra. I think you've had
a bit of shrinkage in the wash.
546
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:03,131
Hot pants. Mary Quants.
547
00:39:03,299 --> 00:39:05,425
Give them back to her,
they look painful.
548
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:08,762
- I think they look lovely.
- Thanks.
549
00:39:09,138 --> 00:39:13,433
It's like what Brenda said, isn't it? This
ain't Knightsbridge, it's Dagenham.
550
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:16,436
If you wanna get spotted,
you gotta stand out more.
551
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:19,022
And that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.
552
00:39:19,398 --> 00:39:22,233
- Yesterday were great, weren't it?
- Being on strike?
553
00:39:22,401 --> 00:39:23,443
Yeah.
554
00:39:24,403 --> 00:39:28,198
It's a glimpse, isn't it?
Of how it could be.
555
00:39:29,825 --> 00:39:32,327
Well, that's what it's about, isn't it?
556
00:39:36,082 --> 00:39:39,459
Pitch-bleeding-black. I couldn't
see me hand in front of me face.
557
00:39:39,627 --> 00:39:44,381
Finally when he turns the lights on, it
was actually stuck to me bottom lash.
558
00:39:51,013 --> 00:39:52,806
She got fired.
559
00:39:52,973 --> 00:39:54,641
Blimey.
560
00:40:00,022 --> 00:40:03,316
- I'm here, just. Oh, Christ.
- Connie? Con?
561
00:40:03,692 --> 00:40:06,236
- Rita, l...
- No, I just wanna say something.
562
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:10,031
Sorry, I just...
563
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:15,412
If I was to get a bit more involved,
you know, with Albert...
564
00:40:15,579 --> 00:40:18,248
...it's only because
I've got a gob on me.
565
00:40:18,833 --> 00:40:21,626
You're the heartbeat of this place,
always have been.
566
00:40:21,794 --> 00:40:24,754
Rita, look at me,
all at sixes and sevens.
567
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:29,843
You can do this and you should.
568
00:40:34,598 --> 00:40:36,433
Here we go.
569
00:40:55,202 --> 00:40:56,494
Man!
570
00:41:07,214 --> 00:41:09,591
Brian.
571
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:11,885
Hello, Brian.
572
00:41:13,179 --> 00:41:15,889
Is that a cotton bob in your pocket
or a hard-on?
573
00:41:20,060 --> 00:41:21,895
- What's he doing?
- Having a fiddle.
574
00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:40,079
Here, Con. Pass them out, girls.
575
00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:06,606
- Yeah, come on, Rita.
- Go on, Rita. Give them hell.
576
00:42:15,908 --> 00:42:18,159
- Ignore it.
- Ignore it?
577
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:21,621
Standard issue, day after a walkout.
578
00:42:22,331 --> 00:42:23,957
Have you seen the language?
579
00:42:24,124 --> 00:42:27,585
"Your aggressive disregard
for the existing complaints procedure."
580
00:42:27,753 --> 00:42:30,129
- Tone of that?
- They don't mean it.
581
00:42:30,631 --> 00:42:34,175
- So why are they saying it?
- That's how we've always done it.
582
00:42:34,343 --> 00:42:37,095
All the other strikes.
It's like the rules.
583
00:42:37,263 --> 00:42:39,430
Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry.
584
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:43,476
Sorry, we ain't playing that game.
We ain't your men.
585
00:42:44,311 --> 00:42:47,480
We're us. And we certainly won't
be addressed in this manner.
586
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:49,649
No.
587
00:42:49,817 --> 00:42:52,735
All those in favor
of not only maintaining...
588
00:42:52,903 --> 00:42:56,990
...but increasing our current action
by going to an all-out stoppage...
589
00:42:57,157 --> 00:42:59,659
...until we get the same rates of pay
as the men?
590
00:42:59,827 --> 00:43:01,828
- What?
- Equal pay?
591
00:43:02,162 --> 00:43:05,290
Why not? Because that's what
this is really about, isn't it?
592
00:43:06,125 --> 00:43:08,626
We're on the lowest rate
in the whole factory...
593
00:43:08,794 --> 00:43:11,796
...despite the fact
we've got considerable skill.
594
00:43:11,964 --> 00:43:14,507
And there's only one possible reason
for that.
595
00:43:14,675 --> 00:43:17,093
- It's because we're women.
- Yeah.
596
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:21,472
And in the workplace, women get
paid less no matter what skill they got.
597
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:26,477
Which is why, from now on, we gotta
demand a level playing field...
598
00:43:26,645 --> 00:43:28,980
...and rates of pay
which reflect the job...
599
00:43:29,148 --> 00:43:31,649
...not whether you've got
a dick or not.
600
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,948
This strike is about one thing
and one thing only: Fairness.
601
00:43:39,116 --> 00:43:40,533
- Yeah.
- That's right.
602
00:43:40,701 --> 00:43:44,120
- Equal pay or nothing.
- Yes.
603
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:46,831
- All those in favor?
- Yes.
604
00:43:50,336 --> 00:43:52,295
Everybody out.
605
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:08,061
Well, it's got nothing to do with me.
606
00:44:11,732 --> 00:44:13,900
An all-out stoppage?
607
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:18,571
Also, the specifics of this strike,
they've widened out a bit.
608
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:20,865
Christ.
609
00:44:22,117 --> 00:44:23,159
Shit.
610
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:28,581
Fucking Ada. Equal pay?
What were you thinking, Monty?
611
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:32,335
It wasn't me, it was Albert.
He went behind me back.
612
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:35,254
- Really, Monty?
- He's a loose cannon.
613
00:44:35,422 --> 00:44:38,424
You wanna haul someone
over the coals, he's your man.
614
00:44:38,592 --> 00:44:40,385
The bloody troublemaker.
615
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:42,595
Get him in.
616
00:44:52,606 --> 00:44:55,650
I tried to protect you, Albert.
617
00:44:55,943 --> 00:44:58,861
But you're gonna get
such a fucking bollocking.
618
00:44:59,029 --> 00:45:00,780
Come on, then.
619
00:45:05,577 --> 00:45:08,621
This is awkward, Albert.
You know that, don't you?
620
00:45:09,289 --> 00:45:14,293
It jeopardizes a whole raft
of other negotiations...
621
00:45:14,461 --> 00:45:18,798
...that the unions are already at
loggerheads with management over.
622
00:45:18,966 --> 00:45:20,591
Look, comrade...
623
00:45:20,759 --> 00:45:25,805
...basically, you encouraging
these women to get all militant...
624
00:45:25,973 --> 00:45:28,182
It shifts resources
away from the blokes...
625
00:45:28,350 --> 00:45:30,643
...who are the ones at the coalface.
626
00:45:30,811 --> 00:45:32,395
We ain't unsympathetic...
627
00:45:33,897 --> 00:45:38,651
...but as a union,
we have to remember who comes first.
628
00:45:40,195 --> 00:45:42,655
The Communist Party
and Marx himself said:
629
00:45:42,823 --> 00:45:46,659
"Men write their own history."
That's "men," Albert.
630
00:45:47,536 --> 00:45:49,996
But didn't he also say...
631
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:54,751
..."Progress can be measured by
the social position of the female sex"?
632
00:45:54,918 --> 00:45:58,004
Or was that a different Marx?
That was Groucho, was it?
633
00:46:01,049 --> 00:46:03,843
Equal pay across the board.
634
00:46:04,678 --> 00:46:07,013
You telling me that
ain't worth fighting for?
635
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:10,308
Of course it is. And you know it.
636
00:46:10,976 --> 00:46:13,019
I'll tell you something.
637
00:46:13,187 --> 00:46:17,190
This Rita has got a bigger set of balls
than you three put together.
638
00:46:17,357 --> 00:46:20,526
And she ain't scared to
lay them on the line neither.
639
00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:24,030
And I, for one, am gonna help her.
640
00:46:25,657 --> 00:46:27,658
And if you are
what you say you are...
641
00:46:27,826 --> 00:46:31,496
...an organization pledged
to support its members...
642
00:46:31,663 --> 00:46:37,418
...then you'll get off your lazy, fat arses
and you'll help her too.
643
00:46:38,921 --> 00:46:41,589
Good fucking evening.
644
00:46:44,176 --> 00:46:47,094
They can't expect us to carry on
being graded unskilled.
645
00:46:47,262 --> 00:46:48,846
Unskilled, my arse.
646
00:47:02,361 --> 00:47:07,406
We're here to put across our point of
view about what's going on. It ain't fair.
647
00:47:07,574 --> 00:47:11,410
And also about how it's a part
of something bigger, much bigger.
648
00:47:11,578 --> 00:47:14,080
What about a little bit of support
this way?
649
00:47:15,916 --> 00:47:16,916
Come on, mate.
650
00:47:17,084 --> 00:47:20,795
You might learn something
if you just listened.
651
00:47:24,883 --> 00:47:28,344
The time has come
for all women to say "enough."
652
00:47:28,512 --> 00:47:32,890
We do not and we will not
accept this any longer.
653
00:47:37,396 --> 00:47:38,437
Dad, the pan.
654
00:47:39,940 --> 00:47:41,691
Bollocks!
655
00:47:41,859 --> 00:47:43,276
No, Daddy didn't mean that.
656
00:47:44,611 --> 00:47:46,445
Thank you. Thank you very much.
657
00:47:48,448 --> 00:47:50,950
That was magnificent.
That was wonderful.
658
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:53,744
Be back in a minute.
659
00:47:59,626 --> 00:48:02,795
You're doing the same work
for Ford here in Liverpool...
660
00:48:02,963 --> 00:48:05,381
...that we're doing for them
down in Dagenham.
661
00:48:05,549 --> 00:48:07,550
So you know that our job is skilled.
662
00:48:08,385 --> 00:48:09,719
She's a bit of all right.
663
00:48:12,681 --> 00:48:14,098
Think beyond that.
664
00:48:15,183 --> 00:48:18,728
I'm asking you to strike now
for all women, not just machinists.
665
00:48:18,896 --> 00:48:21,606
Leave him alone.
He's gotta concentrate.
666
00:48:21,773 --> 00:48:23,608
Go, get back.
Have a word with him.
667
00:48:23,984 --> 00:48:27,361
And what is right
is that every single one of us...
668
00:48:27,529 --> 00:48:29,614
...is entitled to the same pay as men.
669
00:48:29,781 --> 00:48:31,657
Yeah!
670
00:48:31,825 --> 00:48:33,284
That's my girl.
671
00:48:33,452 --> 00:48:37,246
Will all those in favor
please put your hands in the air now?
672
00:48:37,414 --> 00:48:39,415
Yeah!
673
00:48:41,001 --> 00:48:42,126
Yeah.
674
00:48:44,796 --> 00:48:46,547
Well...
675
00:48:47,466 --> 00:48:49,383
How'd you get on?
676
00:48:51,762 --> 00:48:55,431
We slaughtered them.
Every single one of them came out.
677
00:48:58,518 --> 00:49:00,519
It was incredible though, Eddie.
678
00:49:00,938 --> 00:49:02,688
Well done.
679
00:49:04,691 --> 00:49:08,694
Go and check on the kids.
Give them a quick kiss good night.
680
00:49:22,167 --> 00:49:24,502
Gonna take some money, all right?
681
00:49:26,046 --> 00:49:27,964
Oh, no. What happened?
682
00:49:29,216 --> 00:49:31,050
Dad.
683
00:49:31,218 --> 00:49:33,219
Tell him to give it another go, yeah?
684
00:49:33,387 --> 00:49:37,390
I'm off. See you later. You're all right
taking them to school, aren't you?
685
00:49:37,557 --> 00:49:40,226
- Of course.
- You're all right with that?
686
00:49:41,269 --> 00:49:45,231
- Everything's all right, isn't it?
- Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
687
00:49:45,816 --> 00:49:48,651
No reason. Have a good day.
See you later.
688
00:49:50,070 --> 00:49:52,321
This is me last one.
689
00:49:53,573 --> 00:49:55,658
The shirt, I just noticed.
690
00:49:57,077 --> 00:50:00,037
Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot.
691
00:50:00,205 --> 00:50:02,373
Forgot washing Monday.
I'll do it tonight.
692
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,667
Right.
693
00:50:06,628 --> 00:50:08,754
- Take care of your dad.
- Bye, Mum.
694
00:50:08,922 --> 00:50:10,339
Have a good day.
695
00:50:11,425 --> 00:50:13,426
Oh, dear.
696
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,302
- Come on.
- Come on, girls.
697
00:50:15,470 --> 00:50:16,971
Equal pay.
698
00:50:17,139 --> 00:50:19,223
Equal pay.
699
00:50:19,391 --> 00:50:21,642
Equal pay.
700
00:50:23,979 --> 00:50:26,188
- Which way?
- Wait a minute.
701
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:28,774
No, Ri, it's here. It's down this way.
702
00:50:29,151 --> 00:50:31,235
- It must be up here.
- Anyone got a map?
703
00:50:31,403 --> 00:50:32,987
There.
704
00:50:34,614 --> 00:50:36,782
- There it is.
- Oh, my God.
705
00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:40,745
- Oh, here we are.
- Here we go.
706
00:50:42,289 --> 00:50:46,250
We want respect. We want respect.
707
00:50:46,418 --> 00:50:50,212
We want respect. We want respect.
708
00:50:50,380 --> 00:50:52,465
Get the banner up. Look, get that.
709
00:50:52,632 --> 00:50:54,216
- There.
- Equal pay for women!
710
00:50:54,843 --> 00:50:57,553
- I'll support you.
- Thank you for your support.
711
00:50:57,721 --> 00:50:58,888
Equal pay for women.
712
00:50:59,056 --> 00:51:01,182
Women workers for equal pay.
713
00:51:01,349 --> 00:51:05,144
- We want respect.
- Darling, over here.
714
00:51:07,564 --> 00:51:09,899
We want respect!
715
00:51:11,109 --> 00:51:12,818
- Hey!
- Hello.
716
00:51:12,986 --> 00:51:15,946
I finish at 4. Give us a call, love?
717
00:51:16,531 --> 00:51:18,991
I never thought
we'd get this backing.
718
00:51:19,701 --> 00:51:21,994
Show us what you got.
719
00:51:25,624 --> 00:51:27,583
Hold on, girls!
720
00:51:27,751 --> 00:51:29,543
We're not entirely unfurled, look.
721
00:51:30,921 --> 00:51:32,838
Don't we all?
722
00:51:35,175 --> 00:51:36,675
I know the feeling.
723
00:51:36,843 --> 00:51:37,927
Don't look, boys.
724
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:41,722
In their campaign for equal pay...
725
00:51:41,890 --> 00:51:44,058
...women workers
of Ford Dagenham...
726
00:51:44,226 --> 00:51:46,936
...brought their protest
to Westminster today.
727
00:51:47,104 --> 00:51:48,896
Some didn't need
much persuasion...
728
00:51:49,064 --> 00:51:51,524
...to demonstrate
their feminine charms.
729
00:51:51,691 --> 00:51:56,112
It's interesting, all this politics,
when you get down to it. Oh, sorry.
730
00:51:56,279 --> 00:51:59,115
- How long will they stay out?
- Must be starting to bite.
731
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:02,034
- As long as it takes.
- Does your husband support you?
732
00:52:02,202 --> 00:52:04,537
- He has to.
- Yeah.
733
00:52:04,704 --> 00:52:05,913
Yes, of course he does.
734
00:52:06,081 --> 00:52:09,959
And we all supported the men
when they went out on strike. Yeah.
735
00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:14,213
Does it bother you that you've been
described as the Revlon revolutionary?
736
00:52:15,048 --> 00:52:17,842
Have they been in touch
about doing some modeling?
737
00:52:18,009 --> 00:52:21,178
I don't think so.
I think you're talking to the wrong girl.
738
00:52:21,346 --> 00:52:23,013
Actually...
739
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,059
No, I prefer to focus on the issues
of the strike.
740
00:52:27,227 --> 00:52:31,021
What makes this strike different
is it's not about a specific pay...
741
00:52:31,189 --> 00:52:35,401
- Ain't that something, eh?
- Yeah, she's doing all right.
742
00:52:35,569 --> 00:52:38,404
This is Laurie cannon, BBC News,
at Westmin...
743
00:52:39,072 --> 00:52:41,240
She mentioned you
on the telly there, Ed.
744
00:52:41,408 --> 00:52:44,618
I tell you what,
that's some woman you got there.
745
00:52:46,830 --> 00:52:48,998
- Right. I gotta get going.
- What, already?
746
00:52:49,166 --> 00:52:52,751
Gotta fetch the kids. Rita reckons
they ain't gonna be back till 6...
747
00:52:52,919 --> 00:52:55,546
...so I need to get them sorted.
- Get your apron.
748
00:52:55,714 --> 00:52:57,256
Shut up, you.
749
00:52:57,883 --> 00:53:00,843
Tell her to get her finger out.
It's gone on long enough.
750
00:53:02,762 --> 00:53:04,763
I don't think they're dragging it out.
751
00:53:04,931 --> 00:53:07,349
It's all right for you,
it's different for me.
752
00:53:07,517 --> 00:53:11,812
- I can't be doing with this strike.
- Yeah, I know that, and they'll settle it.
753
00:53:12,898 --> 00:53:14,023
Soon as they can.
754
00:53:15,275 --> 00:53:18,527
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah. See you later, Ed.
755
00:53:19,821 --> 00:53:22,573
Top it up, would you, Pete, please?
756
00:53:29,915 --> 00:53:34,168
There's nothing I can do about it.
Come and have a look for yourself.
757
00:53:35,003 --> 00:53:37,296
That's what I'm saying,
you've had them all.
758
00:53:37,464 --> 00:53:42,051
There are no more finished seats.
Full stop.
759
00:53:42,928 --> 00:53:45,346
Frank, what do you want me to do?
760
00:53:45,513 --> 00:53:48,140
- We're going home, mate.
- You what?
761
00:53:48,308 --> 00:53:50,976
No more seats, no more jobs.
762
00:53:51,811 --> 00:53:53,270
For any of us.
763
00:54:14,251 --> 00:54:16,585
You lot are a bit early, aren't you?
764
00:54:17,462 --> 00:54:20,172
- Hey, what's going on?
- You've shut the factory.
765
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:22,299
Well done.
766
00:54:33,186 --> 00:54:35,354
Ford's Dagenham.
The plant is mainly idle.
767
00:54:35,522 --> 00:54:39,775
With thousands laid off, strike bound,
and production barely ticking over...
768
00:54:40,527 --> 00:54:43,654
...millions of vital pounds being lost
in export orders.
769
00:54:43,822 --> 00:54:45,990
And until there's
an answer to the rift...
770
00:54:46,157 --> 00:54:48,534
...between management
and Ford's machinists...
771
00:54:48,702 --> 00:54:53,163
...the factory gates will remain closed
indefinitely to the entire work force.
772
00:54:58,586 --> 00:55:00,796
- You all right?
- Yeah.
773
00:55:03,133 --> 00:55:04,300
Been busy, have you?
774
00:55:05,802 --> 00:55:07,428
Yeah.
775
00:55:12,934 --> 00:55:14,476
It's the final push, Eddie.
776
00:55:16,604 --> 00:55:19,982
Entire main plant closed down.
777
00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:23,027
Ford can't afford that, so...
778
00:55:28,575 --> 00:55:32,578
I mean, I'm sorry about you
and the lads and everything.
779
00:55:32,746 --> 00:55:36,540
Oh, no, don't worry about us, Rita.
We was only saying on the way out...
780
00:55:36,708 --> 00:55:40,753
...it's warm weather at the moment.
Cut the gas off, we'll hardly notice.
781
00:55:46,426 --> 00:55:48,052
Yeah.
782
00:55:56,936 --> 00:56:02,191
Well, the thing is, Eddie, you know,
I know how you feel.
783
00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:04,360
All them times
you've been on strike...
784
00:56:04,527 --> 00:56:07,279
...and us girls come out
in support of you men.
785
00:56:08,406 --> 00:56:11,158
It's meant no work for us either.
786
00:56:13,411 --> 00:56:14,578
Yeah.
787
00:56:21,127 --> 00:56:23,587
Have you got something
on your mind, Eddie?
788
00:56:23,755 --> 00:56:26,507
- Got something on your mind?
- Got nothing on me mind.
789
00:56:26,674 --> 00:56:28,634
I'm fine. I'd say.
790
00:56:29,135 --> 00:56:30,761
Good.
791
00:56:32,972 --> 00:56:36,183
It ain't been
the easiest day for me either.
792
00:56:46,694 --> 00:56:50,406
Thank you for waiting. I have
Mr. Ford for you gentlemen.
793
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:53,283
I thought your boy
said he could handle this.
794
00:56:53,451 --> 00:56:55,536
Do we even know
what we're dealing with?
795
00:56:55,703 --> 00:56:58,664
Socialist Workers Party?
Workers Revolutionary Party?
796
00:56:58,832 --> 00:57:01,208
Revolutionary
Communist-fucking-Party?
797
00:57:01,376 --> 00:57:02,501
Who's she with?
798
00:57:02,669 --> 00:57:05,421
Well, we don't actually think
she's with anyone, sir.
799
00:57:05,588 --> 00:57:08,465
We actually don't think
she's a communist. She looks...
800
00:57:08,633 --> 00:57:11,260
I don't care if she looks
like Jane-fucking-Fonda.
801
00:57:11,428 --> 00:57:14,555
I wanna know
why she's acting like this.
802
00:57:14,722 --> 00:57:18,016
As a matter of fact,
she hasn't got a political background...
803
00:57:18,184 --> 00:57:22,479
...either inside or outside the union.
Her husband is a moderate.
804
00:57:22,647 --> 00:57:24,690
We just think she's got a beef.
805
00:57:24,858 --> 00:57:28,861
A beef? Have you tried getting
a decent steak in England?
806
00:57:29,612 --> 00:57:31,530
If this woman gets what she wants...
807
00:57:31,698 --> 00:57:35,325
...we'll end up having to do it
right across the world.
808
00:57:35,702 --> 00:57:37,035
Do you understand that?
809
00:57:37,537 --> 00:57:40,164
- Yes, sir, I do.
- Good.
810
00:57:40,331 --> 00:57:42,332
So deal with it.
811
00:57:44,419 --> 00:57:46,503
Guess you'll be getting
the next flight.
812
00:57:47,255 --> 00:57:48,797
Yeah.
813
00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:54,344
Prime Minister, I don't think
you appreciate the urgency...
814
00:57:55,889 --> 00:57:58,265
The urgency of the situation.
815
00:57:58,433 --> 00:58:00,225
Fetch. Good dog, Barry.
816
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,186
- That's it.
- Prime Minister?
817
00:58:02,770 --> 00:58:07,232
Until you help me,
I cannot get this country back to work.
818
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:12,154
I understand that, but we need
to tread carefully. Draw the unions in.
819
00:58:12,322 --> 00:58:14,865
We have to acknowledge
that without the unions...
820
00:58:15,033 --> 00:58:16,867
...there would be no Labour Party.
821
00:58:17,952 --> 00:58:20,454
I was a member
of the trade union movement...
822
00:58:20,622 --> 00:58:23,248
...while you were still
at your mother's breast.
823
00:58:23,416 --> 00:58:26,418
Unless you've got something to add
beyond the obvious...
824
00:58:26,586 --> 00:58:31,215
...l'd prefer it if you keep quiet.
Harold, you asked me to do this job.
825
00:58:31,382 --> 00:58:32,508
You appointed me.
826
00:58:32,675 --> 00:58:35,552
You're the best man in my cabinet,
I often say that.
827
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,389
Harold, I cannot do it without you.
828
00:58:39,557 --> 00:58:43,018
- I need you.
- Jack Scamp, he's your man.
829
00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:45,354
Any impasse, get Jack in.
830
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:48,607
Sits them all around a table,
beer and pork pie.
831
00:58:48,775 --> 00:58:52,444
Straight-talking negotiation.
He's the way forward.
832
00:58:52,612 --> 00:58:53,737
Beer and pork pie?
833
00:58:54,906 --> 00:58:58,450
Might not do
for the latest one down at Ford.
834
00:58:58,618 --> 00:59:01,828
A hundred and eighty-seven
machinists, all women.
835
00:59:01,996 --> 00:59:04,790
Well, perhaps we can get them
a finger buffet in, eh?
836
00:59:05,625 --> 00:59:09,127
Finger buffet? Good.
837
00:59:11,589 --> 00:59:15,384
- So how was the flight?
- It was long.
838
00:59:16,553 --> 00:59:18,011
I'm sorry to drag you over.
839
00:59:18,179 --> 00:59:22,140
Well, they're taking this very seriously,
right at the top.
840
00:59:22,433 --> 00:59:24,643
Come in, my wife's cooking dinner.
841
00:59:24,811 --> 00:59:29,648
- Well, I don't wanna be any trouble.
- Honestly, it's the least I can do.
842
00:59:29,816 --> 00:59:32,568
Lisa, this is Robert Tooley.
843
00:59:32,735 --> 00:59:34,444
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise.
844
00:59:34,612 --> 00:59:35,988
At last.
845
00:59:36,155 --> 00:59:40,367
I was telling Peter that I'm perfectly
happy to eat later at the hotel so...
846
00:59:40,535 --> 00:59:43,787
- It's really no problem.
- She loves to cook, don't you?
847
00:59:43,955 --> 00:59:46,582
- Let me take your hat and coat.
- Thank you.
848
00:59:48,042 --> 00:59:53,213
Come through, have a drink.
I'll run you back when we're finished.
849
00:59:55,300 --> 00:59:57,801
Thank you. It was delicious.
850
00:59:57,969 --> 00:59:59,845
Lovely. Thank you.
851
01:00:00,471 --> 01:00:03,140
Can you bring some brandy glasses
back in with you?
852
01:00:03,308 --> 01:00:06,018
- Absolutely.
- Lisa? Do you mind if I call you Lisa?
853
01:00:07,729 --> 01:00:10,814
You must have quite a head
on your shoulders.
854
01:00:10,982 --> 01:00:13,942
Peter tells me that you read history
at Cambridge?
855
01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:16,903
- Yes, I did.
- Do you mind if I ask...
856
01:00:17,071 --> 01:00:20,365
...what do you think of our little
problem over at the factory?
857
01:00:21,075 --> 01:00:24,953
Do you think maybe
he's a bit too much velvet glove?
858
01:00:25,121 --> 01:00:27,873
- Not enough iron fist?
- Oh, not at all, no.
859
01:00:28,207 --> 01:00:31,877
No, quite the opposite actually.
Look at Vauxhall.
860
01:00:32,045 --> 01:00:34,921
They don't have any problems
with the unions...
861
01:00:35,089 --> 01:00:39,343
...because General Motors has a more
collaborative approach to management.
862
01:00:39,510 --> 01:00:41,928
Whereas at Ford, you...
863
01:00:42,722 --> 01:00:46,892
Well, you only deal with the unions
because you have to.
864
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:51,021
You tolerate them. And as a result,
they're more entrenched...
865
01:00:51,189 --> 01:00:54,191
...and they're aggressive
in their dealings with you.
866
01:00:58,571 --> 01:01:04,368
Well, that's a very progressive
point of view.
867
01:01:04,535 --> 01:01:06,244
Don't you think?
868
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:09,873
- Cheese.
- What?
869
01:01:10,708 --> 01:01:14,086
We have some Stilton.
Why don't you get that out?
870
01:01:14,253 --> 01:01:16,672
- Right.
- Some grapes.
871
01:01:17,090 --> 01:01:20,258
- Yes, good idea.
- That'll be terrific, thank you.
872
01:01:30,311 --> 01:01:33,605
Come on, girls. There's a cauliflower
or cabbage for everyone.
873
01:01:34,607 --> 01:01:36,942
Cauliflower again?
Haven't got anything else?
874
01:01:38,820 --> 01:01:42,948
- Blimey, he must love you.
- I've never had real pineapple.
875
01:01:43,116 --> 01:01:45,534
- Let her know it's yours.
- Go on, Mum.
876
01:01:46,285 --> 01:01:49,579
- Sandra, here's your strike pay.
- Thanks.
877
01:01:51,958 --> 01:01:54,751
- Three quid?
- Yeah, I know it's not much.
878
01:01:54,919 --> 01:01:58,380
- It's all the union can afford, I'm afraid.
- Better than nothing.
879
01:01:58,548 --> 01:02:01,383
- I'll take it back if you don't want it.
- No.
880
01:02:01,551 --> 01:02:03,093
Oh, all right then.
881
01:02:03,261 --> 01:02:05,095
Sandra, cauliflower or cabbage?
882
01:02:06,889 --> 01:02:09,141
- I'm fine, thanks.
- Come on, take one.
883
01:02:09,308 --> 01:02:11,893
No, I'm all right.
884
01:02:13,312 --> 01:02:15,063
I've gotta go, actually.
885
01:02:15,231 --> 01:02:18,108
- So I'll see you all later.
- See you.
886
01:02:18,276 --> 01:02:19,317
See you later.
887
01:02:19,485 --> 01:02:22,404
- This one's for Connie, you seen her?
- I haven't.
888
01:02:22,572 --> 01:02:25,407
- I'll give it to her.
- Monica?
889
01:02:25,575 --> 01:02:29,995
- Oh, is that Connie's? I'll take it.
- No, it ain't all your responsibility.
890
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:33,373
Yeah, I know.
I wanna see her anyway.
891
01:02:34,167 --> 01:02:36,293
- Is that real pineapple?
- You bet.
892
01:02:36,461 --> 01:02:38,962
- Can I have some?
- Go on, help yourself.
893
01:02:40,006 --> 01:02:41,089
- See you.
- See you.
894
01:02:41,257 --> 01:02:42,299
- Bye.
- Later, Rita.
895
01:02:42,467 --> 01:02:44,134
Come on, girls, get stuck in.
896
01:02:44,302 --> 01:02:45,969
There you go. My God.
897
01:02:47,305 --> 01:02:49,931
- So sweet.
- Yeah, it's just like him.
898
01:02:50,141 --> 01:02:54,019
Connie? Connie, are you there?
899
01:02:54,645 --> 01:02:56,021
Got you a present.
900
01:02:57,106 --> 01:03:00,692
It's from Brenda's fella.
Makes a change from potatoes, eh?
901
01:03:02,403 --> 01:03:05,697
Albert's been in touch.
There's a meeting down the union.
902
01:03:05,865 --> 01:03:08,200
Sounds important.
Thinks we should be there.
903
01:03:08,868 --> 01:03:09,951
No, I don't think so.
904
01:03:11,370 --> 01:03:13,371
What are you talking about?
905
01:03:13,706 --> 01:03:15,040
Connie?
906
01:03:20,838 --> 01:03:24,549
George is ill, Rita. You know that.
907
01:03:24,717 --> 01:03:26,259
He's...
908
01:03:26,886 --> 01:03:28,678
...touched.
909
01:03:28,930 --> 01:03:33,725
The strike's just whipping
everything up. I've gotta put him first.
910
01:03:34,769 --> 01:03:39,356
- Look, Connie, I know it's hard...
- No, you don't.
911
01:03:43,069 --> 01:03:48,365
I'm not his wife anymore.
I'm more like his sister or his...
912
01:03:48,866 --> 01:03:50,867
But I'm his.
913
01:03:52,245 --> 01:03:54,412
That's all he's got left.
914
01:03:56,207 --> 01:03:59,417
Connie, I ain't saying
you gotta give up on him.
915
01:04:02,421 --> 01:04:05,090
You've got a life too, you know.
916
01:04:05,424 --> 01:04:07,092
You gotta live it.
917
01:04:07,593 --> 01:04:10,345
Or the war's gonna end up
destroying two people.
918
01:04:33,369 --> 01:04:35,537
George. George.
919
01:04:36,956 --> 01:04:41,501
It's all right, it's all right,
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
920
01:04:42,336 --> 01:04:45,130
It doesn't matter.
I'll change it, come on.
921
01:04:45,298 --> 01:04:49,551
- Out you come.
- What the hell do you care?
922
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:52,387
I know what you're up to.
You're gonna put me away!
923
01:04:52,555 --> 01:04:57,058
George. Stop it.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
924
01:05:06,110 --> 01:05:08,153
I'm sorry.
925
01:05:09,780 --> 01:05:12,032
I'm sorry.
926
01:05:18,289 --> 01:05:21,833
- Monty, this is Mr. Tooley, he's from...
- Good afternoon, Mr. Taylor.
927
01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:24,628
Go break the strike, please.
As soon as possible.
928
01:05:27,298 --> 01:05:30,008
I'm not sure you appreciate
whose side I'm on.
929
01:05:30,176 --> 01:05:32,969
Oh, yes, I do. I've been
going through your file here.
930
01:05:33,304 --> 01:05:34,346
File?
931
01:05:34,513 --> 01:05:37,349
You seem to be
on your side, Mr. Taylor.
932
01:05:39,018 --> 01:05:43,104
I beg your pardon?
I don't have to listen to this.
933
01:05:43,272 --> 01:05:47,484
Yeah, that's it, keep walking and in six
months' time, your union won't exist.
934
01:05:48,527 --> 01:05:52,614
Industry cannot afford to pay women
the same rates as men, gentlemen.
935
01:05:52,782 --> 01:05:56,076
That is a fact.
If it is forced to, it will collapse...
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:05:59,913
...under the weight of the extra wages.
Its workers will get laid off.
937
01:06:00,081 --> 01:06:02,332
Their union subscriptions
will disappear...
938
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,834
...and so will the unions
which collect them.
939
01:06:05,002 --> 01:06:06,670
That means you, Monty.
940
01:06:08,255 --> 01:06:12,217
You would no longer have any reason
to visit these gentlemen via the...
941
01:06:12,385 --> 01:06:14,678
What is it? Berni Inn, is it?
942
01:06:15,054 --> 01:06:19,724
The Queen's Head? The Chequers?
Wow, that's a lot of restaurants.
943
01:06:19,892 --> 01:06:24,104
Not to mention the all-expenses-paid
trips to the party conferences...
944
01:06:24,271 --> 01:06:28,024
...to the union conferences.
In Paris, no less.
945
01:06:29,193 --> 01:06:33,738
The Gallic rank and file.
Good on you, Monty.
946
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,200
These women get what they want
and you're fucked.
947
01:06:38,035 --> 01:06:41,329
I'd start thinking less about
what your union can do for you...
948
01:06:41,497 --> 01:06:45,250
...and more about what
you can do for your union.
949
01:06:45,418 --> 01:06:47,377
Go break the strike.
950
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:49,504
Please.
951
01:06:56,554 --> 01:06:58,888
Personnel files, gentlemen.
952
01:06:59,056 --> 01:07:02,809
Everyone's got a weakness,
you just have to find it.
953
01:07:09,108 --> 01:07:10,900
Hello?
954
01:07:11,318 --> 01:07:14,446
Yeah, hello, yes. Yeah, it is.
955
01:07:14,613 --> 01:07:19,159
It's all right. I got your note.
Thank you.
956
01:07:19,326 --> 01:07:22,454
Sorry, I was busy
when you came round.
957
01:07:24,915 --> 01:07:26,499
What?
958
01:07:28,294 --> 01:07:29,961
Really?
959
01:07:33,799 --> 01:07:35,550
Hello, Gordon. You all right?
960
01:07:35,718 --> 01:07:38,762
- Yeah, I'm all right. You all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
961
01:07:38,929 --> 01:07:41,973
Yeah? Course you are.
Well, you don't have to work, do you?
962
01:07:42,641 --> 01:07:46,644
You can afford to have principles.
I mean, you ain't the breadwinner.
963
01:07:46,812 --> 01:07:50,774
It's nice. It's a bit extra, but you
don't have to. I have to fucking work.
964
01:07:50,941 --> 01:07:54,277
Pay the electric and the food
and the coal, the fucking basics.
965
01:07:54,445 --> 01:07:55,487
Only now I can't.
966
01:07:56,322 --> 01:07:58,156
Fucking idiot.
967
01:08:06,373 --> 01:08:08,458
Do you believe
in this women's strike?
968
01:08:08,626 --> 01:08:11,544
- No, I don't.
- They shouldn't get the same as lads.
969
01:08:11,712 --> 01:08:14,964
- You don't believe in equal pay?
- No, no, no. Not for women.
970
01:08:15,132 --> 01:08:18,343
The men are the breadwinners.
The women shouldn't strike...
971
01:08:18,511 --> 01:08:21,012
...because a lot of them husbands
work here.
972
01:08:21,180 --> 01:08:24,808
Now that the lads have been made
redundant, they're gonna be nervous.
973
01:08:24,975 --> 01:08:28,770
And Monty, Ford has rattled him,
I can tell.
974
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:32,357
So be careful what news you share
with him, all right?
975
01:08:37,488 --> 01:08:39,572
- That's our fridge.
- Bingo.
976
01:08:39,740 --> 01:08:41,199
- Excuse me.
- What's going on?
977
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:43,493
We ain't paid the HP.
978
01:08:43,661 --> 01:08:48,206
Last of mine went in the electric bill.
How are you set?
979
01:08:52,253 --> 01:08:54,420
You want me to hold
the door open for you?
980
01:08:54,588 --> 01:08:57,215
Go on. I'll make life
a little bit easier for you.
981
01:08:59,009 --> 01:09:00,885
You spent the money.
982
01:09:01,554 --> 01:09:04,389
Spent the last of the emergency,
out of the repair kit.
983
01:09:04,557 --> 01:09:08,268
I had to pay the milkman. Not that
it matters, we ain't got a fridge.
984
01:09:08,435 --> 01:09:10,436
- Why?
- What do you mean, why?
985
01:09:10,604 --> 01:09:14,232
- Could have put him off till next week.
- He wanted paying.
986
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,776
- Should've told him we didn't have it.
- Right.
987
01:09:16,944 --> 01:09:18,653
I'm in charge of the money.
988
01:09:18,821 --> 01:09:22,365
Ain't much fucking good at it, are you?
We might have some left.
989
01:09:23,701 --> 01:09:26,661
Welcome to the real world, Rita.
This is being on strike.
990
01:09:26,829 --> 01:09:30,415
You run out of cash and you
end up screaming at each other.
991
01:09:30,791 --> 01:09:32,667
- What happened to you?
- Oh, shut up.
992
01:09:33,127 --> 01:09:36,087
- Don't you tell me "shut up." Eddie...
- Hi, Rita.
993
01:09:36,255 --> 01:09:38,965
- All right, Marge?
- I thought you were back at work.
994
01:09:39,133 --> 01:09:41,092
- Can you come in now?
- In a minute.
995
01:09:41,260 --> 01:09:43,553
- No, no, we're still on strike.
- Oh, right.
996
01:09:43,721 --> 01:09:45,096
- Sharon.
- I was sure...
997
01:09:45,264 --> 01:09:47,265
...I saw your Sandra
down the factory.
998
01:09:53,147 --> 01:09:55,064
- Sandra?
- Yeah, it was her.
999
01:09:55,232 --> 01:09:58,443
- Love, in a minute.
- I'll see you later, all right?
1000
01:09:58,819 --> 01:10:00,445
All right.
1001
01:10:03,449 --> 01:10:06,034
I'm sorry, love.
Mummy's gotta sort something.
1002
01:10:06,202 --> 01:10:08,077
- But you said...
- Yeah, I know I did.
1003
01:10:08,245 --> 01:10:11,497
Eddie? Eddie,
can you look after Sharon?
1004
01:10:11,665 --> 01:10:15,293
I'll be back later, love.
It's all right, sweetheart.
1005
01:10:19,089 --> 01:10:21,341
Yes. I like this.
1006
01:10:21,508 --> 01:10:25,303
This is beautiful. Hi. Sally, is it?
1007
01:10:25,471 --> 01:10:27,138
- Sandra.
- Sandra, yes.
1008
01:10:27,306 --> 01:10:30,099
Okay, chin up for me.
Find this light up here.
1009
01:10:30,267 --> 01:10:31,893
Find the birdie. There we go.
1010
01:10:32,436 --> 01:10:34,771
That's a little bit sexy.
Okay, there we go.
1011
01:10:36,482 --> 01:10:39,651
Fabulous, you're a natural.
Let's go down on the floor, here.
1012
01:10:39,818 --> 01:10:41,986
I like that. I like that.
1013
01:10:42,655 --> 01:10:45,323
And I fucking well like that.
1014
01:10:45,491 --> 01:10:48,701
I don't know about you guys,
I've forgotten about the car.
1015
01:10:53,666 --> 01:10:57,252
That's great. Let's go up here.
Let's go nice and high now, guys.
1016
01:10:57,419 --> 01:10:59,128
Straight into the camera.
1017
01:10:59,546 --> 01:11:01,339
Sandra.
1018
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,635
Keep that. Just keep
the pose going there, Sandra.
1019
01:11:07,805 --> 01:11:10,431
I'm sorry, can I just take a minute?
1020
01:11:11,183 --> 01:11:13,268
- Do you wanna get...?
- I need a minute.
1021
01:11:13,435 --> 01:11:15,019
Sure.
1022
01:11:22,403 --> 01:11:26,698
- This is something I've always wanted.
- I know.
1023
01:11:28,284 --> 01:11:32,370
I mean, I don't even know
if I really care about equal pay.
1024
01:11:32,538 --> 01:11:35,039
I mean, it's still a shitty factory.
1025
01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:39,794
This is just a brochure,
but, you know...
1026
01:11:39,962 --> 01:11:42,714
It's only trade, but it'll lead on.
1027
01:11:43,340 --> 01:11:45,883
Get my foot in the door, you know?
1028
01:11:48,887 --> 01:11:52,724
- I just don't wanna let you down.
- You haven't let us down.
1029
01:11:52,891 --> 01:11:55,018
You haven't gone back to work,
have you?
1030
01:11:56,645 --> 01:11:58,730
Because that's the deal here, isn't it?
1031
01:11:59,148 --> 01:12:01,399
They set up this shoot,
you go back to work?
1032
01:12:02,818 --> 01:12:05,695
Only you haven't gone back to work,
have you? So...
1033
01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:13,536
- But if they don't use these photos...
- Sandra.
1034
01:12:15,748 --> 01:12:16,748
Look at you.
1035
01:12:19,335 --> 01:12:21,586
You are a model.
1036
01:12:22,588 --> 01:12:24,756
You're a natural.
1037
01:12:26,425 --> 01:12:28,509
They couldn't get better.
1038
01:12:32,222 --> 01:12:33,723
You could, though.
1039
01:12:39,605 --> 01:12:43,274
There she is.
Up against the clock now, my love.
1040
01:12:43,442 --> 01:12:48,446
Come along. Drape yourself across
this vehicle. I shall avert my eyes.
1041
01:12:50,115 --> 01:12:51,783
How's this look?
1042
01:12:56,747 --> 01:12:57,789
No?
1043
01:13:08,133 --> 01:13:09,717
Hi, Mum.
1044
01:13:12,805 --> 01:13:14,597
Mum, we've gotta go.
1045
01:13:15,307 --> 01:13:17,809
Yes. Sorry, darling.
1046
01:13:25,442 --> 01:13:28,653
- You're going, are you?
- You know I am. I said.
1047
01:13:29,363 --> 01:13:30,988
Rita asked me to go special.
1048
01:13:32,658 --> 01:13:36,953
You gotta fight for what you believe in.
You know that more than anyone.
1049
01:13:38,414 --> 01:13:42,125
You think I'd do the same again?
If another war come round?
1050
01:13:43,585 --> 01:13:45,962
I know you would.
1051
01:13:48,549 --> 01:13:50,550
I love you.
1052
01:13:54,179 --> 01:13:55,179
Go.
1053
01:14:09,111 --> 01:14:11,988
Minister, the unions are turning.
1054
01:14:12,156 --> 01:14:14,866
The other unions.
Normally, they all band together.
1055
01:14:15,033 --> 01:14:17,076
Yes, I gather that's called solidarity.
1056
01:14:17,244 --> 01:14:20,204
They're not being solid.
The men want to return to work.
1057
01:14:20,372 --> 01:14:24,876
So they're telling unions to withdraw
support, put pressure on the women.
1058
01:14:25,043 --> 01:14:27,879
- They'll be back within the week.
- We'll see.
1059
01:14:28,046 --> 01:14:31,716
You're assuming the girls will do
as they're told.
1060
01:14:35,971 --> 01:14:37,847
It's not my fault.
1061
01:14:42,060 --> 01:14:44,979
- Connie.
- You said it was important.
1062
01:14:46,398 --> 01:14:48,441
- Thanks.
- Listen, I'm sorry I'm late.
1063
01:14:48,609 --> 01:14:50,735
We've got to talk
before this meeting.
1064
01:14:50,903 --> 01:14:55,031
- They're ready for you now.
- This way, ladies.
1065
01:14:57,743 --> 01:15:01,412
They've hung you out to dry. Lads in
the other unions have had enough.
1066
01:15:01,580 --> 01:15:04,582
So whatever they say to you now,
don't believe it.
1067
01:15:04,750 --> 01:15:07,460
We'll sort it out later, all right?
1068
01:15:08,504 --> 01:15:13,591
We're absolutely behind you still, Rita.
You and the girls.
1069
01:15:13,759 --> 01:15:15,510
We're not saying otherwise.
1070
01:15:15,677 --> 01:15:20,223
We've got other representatives from
other unions to pledge their support.
1071
01:15:20,390 --> 01:15:23,601
You haven't got them all though,
have you? The important ones.
1072
01:15:23,769 --> 01:15:27,271
No, but we're very confident
we'll prevail.
1073
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:31,859
The thing is though, we've got
the national conference coming up.
1074
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:36,280
The most sensible thing,
probably, would be just go to a vote.
1075
01:15:36,448 --> 01:15:41,744
Which would be the actual final and
binding position, I believe, comrade.
1076
01:15:41,912 --> 01:15:45,122
- After which, it'd be out of our hands.
- That's right, Monty.
1077
01:15:45,290 --> 01:15:48,751
As I say,
we're expecting full support.
1078
01:15:56,218 --> 01:15:59,428
We gotta get down
to Eastbourne and talk to them first.
1079
01:15:59,596 --> 01:16:03,307
"Actual final and binding position,
comrade." Cheeky sod.
1080
01:16:03,475 --> 01:16:05,643
That Monty is a sly one though,
isn't he?
1081
01:16:05,811 --> 01:16:08,729
I can't wait to see his face
when we turn up down there.
1082
01:16:08,897 --> 01:16:12,441
- See you tomorrow.
- We can deal with him, Con.
1083
01:16:12,609 --> 01:16:16,028
- We can deal with anyone.
- That's right, comrade.
1084
01:16:23,370 --> 01:16:26,956
No! No, George!
1085
01:16:27,124 --> 01:16:29,083
No!
1086
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:31,919
Connie! Connie!
1087
01:16:33,505 --> 01:16:35,256
Connie.
1088
01:16:37,175 --> 01:16:41,554
- George!
- Connie! Connie, let me in!
1089
01:16:46,184 --> 01:16:49,145
It's okay. Dear God.
1090
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,582
May the blessing of God Almighty...
1091
01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:13,544
...the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit...
1092
01:17:13,712 --> 01:17:16,839
...be with you always. Amen.
1093
01:17:17,007 --> 01:17:18,883
Amen.
1094
01:17:56,004 --> 01:17:58,005
I'm so sorry, Connie.
1095
01:17:58,173 --> 01:17:59,924
No, you're not.
1096
01:18:01,885 --> 01:18:03,052
What?
1097
01:18:03,220 --> 01:18:07,014
You thought he was a millstone.
You thought he was keeping me back.
1098
01:18:07,182 --> 01:18:09,642
Hey, Con, that's enough.
1099
01:18:09,810 --> 01:18:12,103
I should've been there.
1100
01:18:16,983 --> 01:18:18,609
- I'm all right.
- It's all right.
1101
01:18:18,777 --> 01:18:20,528
I know.
1102
01:19:07,576 --> 01:19:09,744
- Hello.
- Hello.
1103
01:19:10,912 --> 01:19:14,165
- This is a surprise.
- Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry it's so late.
1104
01:19:14,332 --> 01:19:17,001
- I nearly didn't come at all.
- It's all right.
1105
01:19:17,169 --> 01:19:18,544
I...
1106
01:19:19,838 --> 01:19:23,215
Sorry, yeah.
Do you want a cup of tea?
1107
01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:26,594
To be honest,
I'm not feeling chatty today. I'm sorry.
1108
01:19:26,762 --> 01:19:31,223
No, it's fine, really. I really
don't want to keep you. It's just...
1109
01:19:32,225 --> 01:19:35,144
Mr. Clarke's been asked
to leave the school.
1110
01:19:36,855 --> 01:19:39,023
We won. They're getting rid of him.
1111
01:19:42,402 --> 01:19:47,031
Right. Of course, yeah.
Oh, that's great.
1112
01:19:47,532 --> 01:19:49,825
- I just...
- That's brilliant.
1113
01:19:50,118 --> 01:19:52,953
- Well, I wanted to tell you.
- Well, cheers. Thanks.
1114
01:19:53,121 --> 01:19:56,499
- Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you.
- Not at all, thanks.
1115
01:19:59,753 --> 01:20:01,712
I'm married to Peter Hopkins.
1116
01:20:03,507 --> 01:20:05,382
- Sorry, what?
- At the factory.
1117
01:20:06,885 --> 01:20:11,639
I had a feeling that you didn't know.
And I didn't know who you were.
1118
01:20:12,224 --> 01:20:14,183
With the strike.
1119
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,813
Sorry, I don't understand.
1120
01:20:21,399 --> 01:20:24,652
I'm sorry, if you've come here
to tell me to back off...
1121
01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:27,404
...I wasn't joking.
I've had a hell of a day and...
1122
01:20:27,572 --> 01:20:29,740
Oh, no. Oh, no.
1123
01:20:29,908 --> 01:20:32,743
Keep going. Please, keep going.
1124
01:20:33,286 --> 01:20:36,288
Do you know who I am?
Who I actually am?
1125
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:40,751
- No.
- I'm Lisa Burnett, I'm 31 years old.
1126
01:20:40,919 --> 01:20:42,837
I have
a first-class honors degree...
1127
01:20:43,004 --> 01:20:45,714
...from one of the finest universities
in the world.
1128
01:20:45,882 --> 01:20:48,592
And my husband treats me
like I'm a fool.
1129
01:20:51,429 --> 01:20:54,348
And when I was studying
for my degree...
1130
01:20:55,934 --> 01:20:58,143
...I was very, very happy.
1131
01:20:58,311 --> 01:21:02,314
And mostly because of the work.
Because I loved reading...
1132
01:21:02,482 --> 01:21:06,277
...about all these extraordinary people
making history.
1133
01:21:07,195 --> 01:21:08,821
And...
1134
01:21:08,989 --> 01:21:12,283
And I just wondered what it felt like.
1135
01:21:14,494 --> 01:21:18,455
So let me know, will you,
when you finish doing it?
1136
01:21:18,623 --> 01:21:20,207
I don't know.
1137
01:21:23,503 --> 01:21:25,421
Don't give up.
1138
01:21:30,135 --> 01:21:32,177
Don't let me down.
1139
01:22:02,167 --> 01:22:06,128
- Rita, wait! Where are you going?
- Eastbourne. I left you a note.
1140
01:22:06,296 --> 01:22:08,672
- I thought you changed your mind.
- I gotta go.
1141
01:22:12,135 --> 01:22:14,303
Rita? Look, Rita, just stop.
1142
01:22:14,471 --> 01:22:16,722
- What, Eddie?
- Just listen to me. Just...
1143
01:22:18,099 --> 01:22:19,516
We've gotta sort this out.
1144
01:22:20,143 --> 01:22:23,020
- Eddie...
- No, no, no, we have, right? Just...
1145
01:22:23,813 --> 01:22:26,565
Look, I know it ain't been good
between us lately...
1146
01:22:26,733 --> 01:22:28,859
...which I ain't about to make worse.
1147
01:22:29,152 --> 01:22:31,820
- Eddie...
- Just listen to me.
1148
01:22:35,408 --> 01:22:38,369
Look, if I ain't appreciated
what you've done recently...
1149
01:22:38,536 --> 01:22:41,205
- Gotta catch a bus.
- I really am sorry...
1150
01:22:41,373 --> 01:22:43,624
...but you ain't been perfect either.
1151
01:22:43,792 --> 01:22:47,711
- This really ain't the time, Eddie.
- Yes, it is, because it needs saying.
1152
01:22:49,089 --> 01:22:52,383
I know you reckon I ain't bothered
about the important things.
1153
01:22:52,550 --> 01:22:56,637
And I drift along and I'm more
interested in fiddling with motorbikes...
1154
01:22:56,805 --> 01:23:01,141
...or making tents out of seat covers,
but, you know, I try me best.
1155
01:23:02,227 --> 01:23:04,687
You know? I have a go.
1156
01:23:07,107 --> 01:23:10,150
I like a drink, but I ain't out
on the beer every night...
1157
01:23:10,318 --> 01:23:12,820
...or screwing other women or...
1158
01:23:13,446 --> 01:23:15,406
And I've never once raised me hand.
1159
01:23:15,573 --> 01:23:18,283
Ever. Or the kids.
1160
01:23:18,451 --> 01:23:20,661
- Christ.
- What?
1161
01:23:21,871 --> 01:23:23,497
Why you looking like that?
1162
01:23:23,999 --> 01:23:27,960
Right. You're a saint now,
is that what you're telling me, Eddie?
1163
01:23:28,253 --> 01:23:31,588
You're a bleeding saint?
Because you give us an even break?
1164
01:23:31,756 --> 01:23:35,676
- What are you saying?
- That is as it should be. Jesus, Eddie.
1165
01:23:36,344 --> 01:23:38,887
What do you think
this strike's all been about?
1166
01:23:40,265 --> 01:23:42,766
Actually you're right.
You don't go on the drink.
1167
01:23:42,934 --> 01:23:47,104
Don't gamble, you join in with the kids,
you don't knock us about. Lucky me.
1168
01:23:47,272 --> 01:23:51,025
For Christ's sake, Eddie,
that's as it should be!
1169
01:23:52,277 --> 01:23:54,236
You try and understand that.
1170
01:23:56,740 --> 01:24:02,453
Rights, it's not privileges.
It's that easy. It really bloody is.
1171
01:24:28,229 --> 01:24:30,606
- Didn't think you were coming.
- Hey.
1172
01:24:56,591 --> 01:24:59,843
Very good, gentlemen.
Can I call on Monty Taylor...
1173
01:25:00,011 --> 01:25:03,555
...Senior Convenor, Ford Dagenham?
1174
01:25:04,432 --> 01:25:08,310
- Thank you, I shall try to be brief.
- Lf you would.
1175
01:25:13,191 --> 01:25:16,610
The great achievements
of civilization...
1176
01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:21,698
...depended on slow progress.
1177
01:25:21,866 --> 01:25:24,201
Step by step.
1178
01:25:24,369 --> 01:25:31,208
Hence, I am here because I feel
that my union, in backing...
1179
01:25:33,545 --> 01:25:39,341
...these lovely, brave ladies...
1180
01:25:39,509 --> 01:25:44,429
...these Boadiceas in hairnets...
1181
01:25:45,849 --> 01:25:51,895
...on their way to a fight for equal pay,
no matter what.
1182
01:25:55,900 --> 01:25:59,361
But we have to think about
the trade union struggle as a whole.
1183
01:25:59,904 --> 01:26:02,656
Therefore, gentlemen, I ask you...
1184
01:26:02,824 --> 01:26:06,869
...to consider these ladies' demands
too much, too soon.
1185
01:26:07,036 --> 01:26:11,123
Monty Taylor, you two-faced,
hypocritical toe-rag!
1186
01:26:11,291 --> 01:26:12,708
You fucking piece of...
1187
01:26:12,876 --> 01:26:15,294
- Hang on.
- No, you hang on!
1188
01:26:15,461 --> 01:26:17,296
Sorry, gentlemen.
1189
01:26:17,463 --> 01:26:21,925
Hey, we'll sort this out
between ourselves later, eh?
1190
01:26:22,093 --> 01:26:26,263
Monty, I've seen more of their mugs on
the front pages the past few weeks...
1191
01:26:26,431 --> 01:26:28,599
...than you've managed in 20 years.
1192
01:26:29,267 --> 01:26:32,019
I wouldn't mind hearing from them.
1193
01:26:32,770 --> 01:26:36,106
Go on. Go on.
1194
01:27:02,467 --> 01:27:05,886
My best friend
lost her husband recently.
1195
01:27:07,805 --> 01:27:09,473
He was...
1196
01:27:11,351 --> 01:27:14,144
He was a gunner in the 50 Squadron
in the RAF.
1197
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:19,524
Got shot down one time
on a raid to Essen.
1198
01:27:21,611 --> 01:27:25,614
And even though he was
badly injured, he managed to bail out.
1199
01:27:27,909 --> 01:27:31,286
I asked him why he joined the RAF
and he said:
1200
01:27:33,331 --> 01:27:35,874
"Well, they got the best women,
haven't they?"
1201
01:27:37,752 --> 01:27:39,670
Which they did.
1202
01:27:40,380 --> 01:27:44,841
And then he said, "Well, you gotta
do something, haven't you?"
1203
01:27:45,927 --> 01:27:49,930
You had to do something.
That was a given.
1204
01:27:50,807 --> 01:27:53,725
Because it was a matter of principle.
1205
01:27:54,227 --> 01:27:59,106
You had to stand up,
you had to do what was right.
1206
01:28:00,566 --> 01:28:04,111
Otherwise you wouldn't be able
to look at yourself in the mirror.
1207
01:28:10,451 --> 01:28:13,036
When did that change, eh?
1208
01:28:14,455 --> 01:28:21,378
When did we, in this country,
decide to stop fighting?
1209
01:28:25,967 --> 01:28:28,218
I don't think we ever did.
1210
01:28:30,722 --> 01:28:33,390
But you've gotta back us up.
1211
01:28:33,558 --> 01:28:36,226
You've gotta stand up with us.
1212
01:28:38,563 --> 01:28:44,568
We are the working classes.
The men and the women.
1213
01:28:46,446 --> 01:28:48,739
We're not separated by sex.
1214
01:28:49,532 --> 01:28:53,744
But only by those who are
willing to accept injustice...
1215
01:28:53,911 --> 01:28:58,582
...and those, like our friend George...
1216
01:29:00,918 --> 01:29:05,130
...who are prepared to go into battle
for what is right.
1217
01:29:06,424 --> 01:29:11,428
And equal pay for women is right.
1218
01:29:19,979 --> 01:29:21,021
Thank you.
1219
01:29:23,649 --> 01:29:25,692
I never knew you could
talk like that.
1220
01:29:25,860 --> 01:29:30,072
Scorch marks all the way up the
curtains where Monty's arse caught fire.
1221
01:29:30,239 --> 01:29:32,699
Hello. Excuse me.
1222
01:29:32,867 --> 01:29:34,368
Gin.
1223
01:29:34,535 --> 01:29:37,829
I need to calm my nerves.
They might vote against us.
1224
01:29:37,997 --> 01:29:41,958
- How long we gotta wait?
- They said half an hour.
1225
01:29:44,128 --> 01:29:46,421
You know what we can do?
Stick it on Monty.
1226
01:29:46,798 --> 01:29:48,256
- Brilliant.
- You're a genius.
1227
01:29:48,424 --> 01:29:50,759
- In that case, I'll have a double.
- Babycham.
1228
01:29:50,927 --> 01:29:53,303
- Double gin.
- Eddie.
1229
01:29:53,471 --> 01:29:55,472
- Excuse me.
- What do you want, Rita?
1230
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,558
- Where's she gone?
- Most probably needs some air.
1231
01:29:58,726 --> 01:29:59,810
Can we have Babycham?
1232
01:30:11,030 --> 01:30:13,240
I've come to say sorry.
1233
01:30:15,118 --> 01:30:18,036
I mean, I thought about
what you said and...
1234
01:30:19,705 --> 01:30:22,040
...you were right, I suppose.
1235
01:30:23,668 --> 01:30:25,502
You are right.
1236
01:30:28,881 --> 01:30:32,092
And it's amazing what you've done,
Rita O'Grady.
1237
01:30:35,012 --> 01:30:38,640
And I wanna back you.
See, I was gonna tell you that.
1238
01:30:39,684 --> 01:30:42,727
Only then when I come in
and you were speaking...
1239
01:30:43,563 --> 01:30:48,108
...and I heard you up there,
and you was huge.
1240
01:30:48,276 --> 01:30:49,860
You was...
1241
01:30:50,653 --> 01:30:52,362
I don't know.
1242
01:30:53,364 --> 01:30:55,240
Like a force.
1243
01:30:58,870 --> 01:31:01,204
Then I thought...
1244
01:31:02,874 --> 01:31:07,377
...l'm not sure me backing you makes
that much difference, to be honest.
1245
01:31:09,005 --> 01:31:10,046
Where you are now.
1246
01:31:14,302 --> 01:31:16,595
Anyway, go on,
you go back to your meeting.
1247
01:31:16,762 --> 01:31:20,557
I'm gonna... I should...
1248
01:31:23,478 --> 01:31:25,061
Eddie?
1249
01:31:28,691 --> 01:31:32,068
You've said some pretty stupid things
in your time.
1250
01:31:49,921 --> 01:31:53,006
Of course you backing me
makes a difference.
1251
01:31:56,052 --> 01:31:59,346
It makes all the difference
in the world.
1252
01:32:05,728 --> 01:32:07,354
Very good, gentlemen.
1253
01:32:09,023 --> 01:32:11,900
The results of the vote
are as follows:
1254
01:32:12,902 --> 01:32:15,779
Delegates in favor of support
for the women machinists:
1255
01:32:16,322 --> 01:32:17,572
Seventy-nine.
1256
01:32:19,283 --> 01:32:20,450
Delegates against:
1257
01:32:20,826 --> 01:32:22,452
Forty-eight.
1258
01:32:23,204 --> 01:32:27,832
I declare the motion carried in favor
of the Dagenham machinists.
1259
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,753
Their bloody unions are back in line.
1260
01:32:31,921 --> 01:32:33,964
It's verbatim. Our man was there.
1261
01:32:34,632 --> 01:32:36,591
Well, well, well.
1262
01:32:36,759 --> 01:32:40,887
It really does seem time
to call in Sir Jack.
1263
01:32:41,222 --> 01:32:43,473
Good. I'll do that, then.
1264
01:32:43,641 --> 01:32:46,601
I'll set up a court of inquiry
which he can oversee...
1265
01:32:46,769 --> 01:32:48,979
...and let's hope that does the trick.
1266
01:32:50,398 --> 01:32:53,567
Oh, yes. One more thing.
Set up a meeting, will you?
1267
01:32:53,734 --> 01:32:55,986
- Minister?
- With the machinists.
1268
01:32:56,821 --> 01:32:59,614
- Their leaders.
- Pardon me?
1269
01:33:00,825 --> 01:33:03,493
I want to meet them.
At the earliest opportunity.
1270
01:33:03,828 --> 01:33:05,036
- But...
- Yes?
1271
01:33:05,204 --> 01:33:08,832
The minister doesn't do that...
Never has done.
1272
01:33:09,667 --> 01:33:13,003
- It'll just encourage them.
- Give credence to their cause.
1273
01:33:17,091 --> 01:33:21,136
I am what is known
as a fiery redhead.
1274
01:33:21,304 --> 01:33:23,888
Now, I hate to make this
a matter of appearance...
1275
01:33:24,056 --> 01:33:26,891
...and go all womanly on you,
but there you have it.
1276
01:33:27,059 --> 01:33:29,436
And me standing up
like this is, in fact...
1277
01:33:29,604 --> 01:33:33,398
...just that redheaded fieriness
leaping to the fore.
1278
01:33:33,566 --> 01:33:37,360
Credence? I will give credence
to their cause?
1279
01:33:37,528 --> 01:33:41,448
My God, their cause
already has credence!
1280
01:33:41,616 --> 01:33:45,744
It is equal pay.
Equal pay is common justice...
1281
01:33:45,911 --> 01:33:49,748
...and if you two weren't such a pair
of egotistical, chauvinistic...
1282
01:33:49,915 --> 01:33:53,627
...bigoted dunderheads,
you would realize that.
1283
01:33:53,794 --> 01:33:56,421
Oh, my office is run
by incompetents.
1284
01:33:56,589 --> 01:33:59,382
And I am sick of being patronized,
spoken down to...
1285
01:33:59,550 --> 01:34:03,386
...and generally treated
as if I was the May queen.
1286
01:34:03,554 --> 01:34:04,971
Set up the meeting!
1287
01:34:18,944 --> 01:34:21,363
- Morning, Ed.
- All right, Albert?
1288
01:34:21,530 --> 01:34:22,739
Yeah.
1289
01:34:22,907 --> 01:34:25,909
Now, listen. Listen to me.
1290
01:34:26,661 --> 01:34:29,871
Now, there's no reason
to panic, Rita.
1291
01:34:30,039 --> 01:34:31,081
Okay.
1292
01:34:31,248 --> 01:34:34,668
Only, I've had a call
from Barbara Castle's office.
1293
01:34:34,835 --> 01:34:36,920
Oh, my God.
1294
01:34:37,588 --> 01:34:39,923
- Eddie.
- What's happened now?
1295
01:34:42,927 --> 01:34:45,053
Barbara Castle wants to talk to me.
1296
01:34:46,597 --> 01:34:47,681
Well done.
1297
01:34:49,767 --> 01:34:50,767
Cheers.
1298
01:34:50,935 --> 01:34:54,437
The secretary of state is seeing
the women? On whose authority?
1299
01:34:54,605 --> 01:34:58,692
On her own, apparently. I gather
Mrs. Castle is quite a forceful woman.
1300
01:34:58,859 --> 01:35:00,610
- Is she?
- What are you doing?
1301
01:35:00,778 --> 01:35:04,406
I represent Ford. We are the biggest
car manufacturer in the world.
1302
01:35:04,573 --> 01:35:07,409
We pump millions of pounds
into the U.K. Economy.
1303
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:14,499
I think it's time my bosses reminded
one or two people of that fact.
1304
01:35:17,169 --> 01:35:20,630
Have you or have you not invited
the Ford women to your offices?
1305
01:35:20,798 --> 01:35:23,717
- Prime Minister...
- I've just spent the last half-hour...
1306
01:35:23,884 --> 01:35:27,137
...on the phone to Ford,
reassuring him that my government...
1307
01:35:27,304 --> 01:35:30,515
...isn't on the side of the strikers.
- It isn't taking sides.
1308
01:35:30,683 --> 01:35:33,643
- We have to grasp the nettle.
- Now is not the time.
1309
01:35:33,811 --> 01:35:37,647
Ten years ago, you were adamant.
1310
01:35:38,149 --> 01:35:40,775
I wasn't running the country then.
1311
01:35:43,821 --> 01:35:46,656
See the women
if that's what you want to do.
1312
01:35:46,824 --> 01:35:50,702
But whatever you do,
do not upset Ford.
1313
01:35:50,870 --> 01:35:54,080
I've got enough trouble
with the Americans as it is.
1314
01:36:00,296 --> 01:36:04,924
It's all right. It's your missus I'm after.
Is she in?
1315
01:36:05,092 --> 01:36:08,178
Rita? What are you doing here?
1316
01:36:08,345 --> 01:36:09,429
Rita?
1317
01:36:09,597 --> 01:36:10,722
I need a favor.
1318
01:36:10,890 --> 01:36:12,015
- Come in.
- Thanks.
1319
01:36:12,349 --> 01:36:13,600
- Lisa?
- What?
1320
01:36:15,019 --> 01:36:16,352
Come inside.
1321
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:18,605
Everything all right?
Want a cup of tea?
1322
01:36:18,773 --> 01:36:20,356
Yeah.
1323
01:36:30,701 --> 01:36:32,702
Rita. Smile, please.
1324
01:36:32,870 --> 01:36:34,537
Over here, ladies.
1325
01:36:35,706 --> 01:36:37,999
Excuse me, gotta get through.
1326
01:36:40,795 --> 01:36:43,129
Do you think the strike will go on?
How long?
1327
01:36:43,672 --> 01:36:45,340
- Rita.
- Wait a minute.
1328
01:36:46,342 --> 01:36:48,968
- Hey, Connie.
- Sorry I'm late.
1329
01:36:52,181 --> 01:36:53,306
You made it.
1330
01:36:54,266 --> 01:36:57,227
- What if Mrs. Castle says "no deal"?
- How will you cope?
1331
01:36:57,394 --> 01:37:01,231
Cope? How will we cope?
1332
01:37:02,191 --> 01:37:05,860
We're women.
Now, don't ask such stupid questions.
1333
01:37:08,364 --> 01:37:11,074
Ladies, ladies.
Come up. This way, please.
1334
01:37:11,242 --> 01:37:14,702
Come on, this is it.
All right. See you later.
1335
01:37:14,870 --> 01:37:16,621
Stay back, please, gentlemen.
1336
01:37:16,789 --> 01:37:18,540
Follow me.
1337
01:37:20,835 --> 01:37:22,961
- Mr. Tooley.
- Madam Secretary.
1338
01:37:23,128 --> 01:37:26,923
- I wasn't expecting you.
- But you are meeting with the women.
1339
01:37:28,050 --> 01:37:30,844
I think it is time
I heard their argument, yes.
1340
01:37:31,011 --> 01:37:36,099
But if you would care to wait, I will
inform you of any decisions we make.
1341
01:37:36,267 --> 01:37:40,061
I think we both want the same thing,
Mrs. Castle, you and I.
1342
01:37:40,229 --> 01:37:44,274
I think we wanna see Ford Motors
employing British workers.
1343
01:37:44,441 --> 01:37:49,279
Ford is a vital part of our economy.
I am well aware of that.
1344
01:37:49,446 --> 01:37:54,284
Then don't make us build our cars
elsewhere. Help us hold the line here.
1345
01:37:54,451 --> 01:37:57,620
Support our efforts
to combat these constant strikes...
1346
01:37:57,788 --> 01:38:00,832
...which undermine our ability
to build cars at a profit...
1347
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,793
...which is why we're
in business in the first place.
1348
01:38:03,961 --> 01:38:07,130
Otherwise, we will take
our factories elsewhere.
1349
01:38:11,176 --> 01:38:13,761
Are you threatening me, Mr. Tooley?
1350
01:38:14,096 --> 01:38:17,974
I'm trying to stop 40,000 people
from losing their jobs, Mrs. Castle.
1351
01:38:18,142 --> 01:38:20,560
That's how many workers
Ford employs.
1352
01:38:20,728 --> 01:38:24,147
Not to mention tens of thousands
of peripheral jobs sacrificed.
1353
01:38:24,315 --> 01:38:30,445
Now, I don't think that either one of us
wants to take that risk, surely.
1354
01:38:35,534 --> 01:38:40,121
Look, look. Eileen and Monica.
I wonder if they can see us.
1355
01:38:44,543 --> 01:38:47,003
Get me the prime minister.
1356
01:38:50,925 --> 01:38:53,343
Yes. Put me through to Number 10.
1357
01:39:00,851 --> 01:39:06,189
Yes. Yes. Fine. Thank you.
1358
01:39:08,025 --> 01:39:12,904
I'm afraid he's on a plane.
Won't land until this evening.
1359
01:39:25,709 --> 01:39:26,709
Thanks for coming.
1360
01:39:30,381 --> 01:39:33,758
- Connie, I'm so sorry.
- No, don't.
1361
01:39:33,968 --> 01:39:36,719
- It's me who needs to apologize.
- Don't be silly.
1362
01:39:39,139 --> 01:39:41,307
The minister will see you now.
1363
01:39:43,227 --> 01:39:45,061
Here we go.
1364
01:39:51,235 --> 01:39:53,236
You all right?
1365
01:39:54,530 --> 01:39:56,155
Ready?
1366
01:39:58,450 --> 01:40:00,660
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
1367
01:40:00,828 --> 01:40:03,746
Mrs. O'Grady,
I recognize you from the news.
1368
01:40:03,914 --> 01:40:05,707
- Rita, please.
- Rita.
1369
01:40:05,874 --> 01:40:09,252
- Very pleased to meet you.
- Well, and me, you.
1370
01:40:10,004 --> 01:40:12,588
- Sorry. This is Connie.
- Connie.
1371
01:40:12,756 --> 01:40:14,257
- How do you do?
- Brenda.
1372
01:40:14,425 --> 01:40:15,425
How do you do?
1373
01:40:16,135 --> 01:40:17,260
Sandra.
1374
01:40:18,929 --> 01:40:25,143
Well, I'm delighted you could all come.
Please, take a seat.
1375
01:40:30,691 --> 01:40:33,943
- Would you care for a sherry?
- Be lovely, thank you.
1376
01:40:38,824 --> 01:40:39,907
Thank you.
1377
01:40:40,075 --> 01:40:42,035
You haven't got any whiskey,
have you?
1378
01:40:42,995 --> 01:40:45,121
Here's a woman after my own heart.
1379
01:40:45,289 --> 01:40:47,457
Make that two.
1380
01:40:50,085 --> 01:40:51,836
Thank you.
1381
01:40:52,421 --> 01:40:54,005
Well, cheers.
1382
01:40:54,173 --> 01:40:56,507
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
1383
01:41:00,471 --> 01:41:05,099
Now, I've been following
your dispute very closely...
1384
01:41:05,267 --> 01:41:09,312
...and I want to say how proud I am
of the battle that you fought.
1385
01:41:09,480 --> 01:41:14,400
I fully support the struggle
for equal pay and you will have it.
1386
01:41:14,902 --> 01:41:17,820
- But in time.
- What?
1387
01:41:17,988 --> 01:41:21,449
Industry'll object,
the lords will kick up a fuss...
1388
01:41:21,617 --> 01:41:25,203
...the press will have a field day.
It's not going to be easy.
1389
01:41:25,370 --> 01:41:27,955
Well, what is
what's worth fighting for?
1390
01:41:32,169 --> 01:41:35,296
Return to work.
Go back to your machines...
1391
01:41:35,464 --> 01:41:38,925
...and you have my word
I will push forward with your fight.
1392
01:41:39,093 --> 01:41:41,427
- No.
- Mrs. O'Grady...
1393
01:41:41,595 --> 01:41:43,846
No, we need something solid.
Something now.
1394
01:41:47,059 --> 01:41:51,521
You've got the authority. You know,
we thought seeing you, we'd...
1395
01:41:53,232 --> 01:41:56,692
In politics, you sometimes
have to play the long game...
1396
01:41:56,860 --> 01:41:59,403
We ain't politicians,
we're working women.
1397
01:41:59,571 --> 01:42:01,572
And so are you.
1398
01:42:06,495 --> 01:42:07,703
Very well.
1399
01:42:09,540 --> 01:42:13,835
What would it take to get you back?
1400
01:42:14,044 --> 01:42:15,878
Excuse me?
1401
01:42:16,046 --> 01:42:18,381
The "something solid."
1402
01:42:18,549 --> 01:42:22,635
And mark well, I say something,
not everything.
1403
01:42:24,304 --> 01:42:26,347
Well, we'd need...
1404
01:42:31,728 --> 01:42:34,522
We'd need a guarantee
that we're gonna get equal pay.
1405
01:42:34,690 --> 01:42:37,233
And in the meantime...
1406
01:42:38,527 --> 01:42:44,240
...we need to move much closer
to the male rate. Now. At Ford.
1407
01:42:47,077 --> 01:42:48,369
Seventy-five percent?
1408
01:42:50,497 --> 01:42:52,373
Ninety.
1409
01:42:58,630 --> 01:43:00,673
Ninety.
1410
01:43:00,841 --> 01:43:02,800
At least.
1411
01:43:04,136 --> 01:43:08,598
You're putting me
in a very difficult position.
1412
01:43:33,248 --> 01:43:35,666
I wasn't too aggressive, was I?
1413
01:43:36,293 --> 01:43:38,044
No.
1414
01:43:42,466 --> 01:43:47,470
Mr. Tooley, that risk you were talking
about? I'm going to have to take it.
1415
01:43:53,477 --> 01:43:57,980
And from Whitehall we're getting
news that talks between Mrs. Castle...
1416
01:43:58,148 --> 01:44:01,901
...and the striking Ford machinists
are nearing a conclusion.
1417
01:44:02,069 --> 01:44:04,987
And a statement is expected
in the next few minutes.
1418
01:44:05,155 --> 01:44:07,490
Intense interest here...
1419
01:44:09,243 --> 01:44:11,786
- Just a moment please, minister.
- Yes, of course.
1420
01:44:17,668 --> 01:44:21,045
That's Biba, isn't it?
I saw that in a magazine.
1421
01:44:21,213 --> 01:44:25,675
Yeah. I have to give it back
at the end of the day.
1422
01:44:27,886 --> 01:44:30,805
- Is that C&A?
- Yes.
1423
01:44:30,973 --> 01:44:34,850
- Why pay more? That's what I say.
- Well, exactly.
1424
01:44:35,352 --> 01:44:37,853
- I've got the same one at home.
- Have you really?
1425
01:44:38,021 --> 01:44:40,398
They're ready for you now, minister.
1426
01:44:41,692 --> 01:44:43,276
Girls?
1427
01:44:43,443 --> 01:44:45,820
Rita? Rita?
1428
01:44:46,405 --> 01:44:48,114
- Ladies.
- No, after you.
1429
01:44:48,282 --> 01:44:51,200
Oh, no, no. After you.
1430
01:44:51,368 --> 01:44:52,868
Oh, gosh.
1431
01:44:53,036 --> 01:44:56,080
Come on, then. Thank you.
1432
01:45:08,302 --> 01:45:11,220
Rita, is it a positive result?
1433
01:45:12,055 --> 01:45:13,472
Now, ladies, can I help?
1434
01:45:16,143 --> 01:45:18,644
Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you very much.
1435
01:45:18,812 --> 01:45:23,941
I am delighted to announce
that following our talks this afternoon...
1436
01:45:24,109 --> 01:45:28,237
...the 187 Ford machinists...
1437
01:45:28,405 --> 01:45:31,574
...will be going back to work
on the first of July.
1438
01:45:31,742 --> 01:45:36,203
They will receive an immediate
pay rise of 7 pence an hour.
1439
01:45:36,371 --> 01:45:40,916
Which will put them
at 92 percent of the male rate.
1440
01:45:41,084 --> 01:45:44,003
However... However, this is not all.
1441
01:45:44,171 --> 01:45:48,341
As a result of our discussion,
I can confirm...
1442
01:45:48,508 --> 01:45:54,638
...that the government is in full support
of the creation of an Equal Pay Act.
1443
01:45:54,806 --> 01:46:00,436
And by the autumn of this year,
I guarantee appropriate legislation...
1444
01:46:00,604 --> 01:46:06,567
...to ensure that
that act becomes law. Thank you.
1445
01:46:06,735 --> 01:46:08,486
Yeah!
1446
01:46:10,072 --> 01:46:13,407
More support from the back there.
1447
01:47:22,936 --> 01:47:27,773
To celebrate, they let us have
the canteen, and we had a party.
1448
01:47:28,442 --> 01:47:32,027
- I don't remember much of that.
- No, I remember you didn't, no.
1449
01:47:32,362 --> 01:47:37,199
And I thought to myself,
there is some of the old spirit...
1450
01:47:38,368 --> 01:47:42,371
...that gave us the success
of the suffragettes.
1451
01:47:42,539 --> 01:47:44,373
- We are on strike.
- All of you?
1452
01:47:44,541 --> 01:47:46,876
All of us. All us machinists, anyway.
1453
01:47:47,043 --> 01:47:50,254
- So no car seat covers for Fords?
- No, not from us, anyway.
1454
01:47:50,547 --> 01:47:52,256
- You're still staying out?
- Yeah.
1455
01:47:52,424 --> 01:47:54,258
- You're not going back at all?
- No.
1456
01:47:54,426 --> 01:47:57,386
Nobody expected us to come out
on strike. Nobody.
1457
01:47:59,639 --> 01:48:02,725
What we're fighting for,
we'll stay there until we get it.
1458
01:48:02,893 --> 01:48:06,103
Women don't make a habit
of coming out on strike for nothing.
1459
01:48:10,025 --> 01:48:12,193
Well, we didn't think we were
that strong.
1460
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:17,031
We didn't think we would bring Fords
to a standstill.
1461
01:48:19,159 --> 01:48:21,785
It was all down to us. Us ladies.
1462
01:48:21,953 --> 01:48:25,080
And we are ladies,
whatever anybody else may say.
1463
01:48:25,248 --> 01:48:26,874
We are ladies.
1464
01:52:53,933 --> 01:52:56,935
Everybody out!
