MADE IN DAGENHAM
By Charlotte Holland
SYNOPSIS
A   dramatization of the 1968 strike at
   the Ford Dagenham car plant, where
   female workers walked out in protest
   against sexual discrimination.
In 1968, the Ford auto factory in Dagenham was one of the largest single
   private employers in the United Kingdom. In addition to the thousands of
   male employees, there are also 187 underpaid women machinists who
   primarily assemble the car seat upholstery in poor working conditions.
   Dissatisfied, the women, represented by the shop steward and Rita
   O'Grady, work with union rep Albert Passingham for a better deal.
   However, Rita learns that there is a larger issue in this dispute
   considering that women are paid an appalling fraction of the men's
   wages for the same work across the board on the sole basis of their sex.
   Refusing to tolerate this inequality any longer, O'Grady leads a strike by
   her fellow machinists for equal pay for equal work. What follows would
   test the patience of all involved in a grinding labour and political struggle
   that ultimately would advance the cause of women's rights around the
   world.
