Watch Made In Dagenham (15)

Mother of two Rita O'Grady works in the Ford plant in Dagenham with good friend Connie, who is a union rep alongside Alfred Passingham. When the management led by Peter Hopkins shows preference to the male workers, Rita joins the negotiations. Her words fall on deaf ears and Rita risks her marriage to plant worker Eddie by persuading the female workforce to go on strike and take their grievances to Secretary of State for Employment, Barbara Castle.
