“Made in Dagenham” (released in 2010) is a British film by director Nigel Cole that addresses the issue of equal pay for women. It dramatizes the events that occurred at the Ford auto factory in Dagenham, United Kingdom in 1968, when the female machinists (who sewed leather car seat upholstery) led by Rita O'Grady went on the strike that bought the plant to a halt (Riseborough, et al., 2013). Rita O'Grady, the shop steward, and the union representative Albert Passingham initially went on a strike to object to the female machinists being graded unskilled workers. They wanted to be considered skilled workers, to be provided with better working conditions and to be paid what their male co-workers were being paid (Riseborough, et al., 2013).
