Albert Passingham : This dispute's got nothing to do with what skill level you are. Ford decided to give you less money because they can. They're allowed to pay women a lower wage than men. All over the country women are getting less because they're women. You'll always come second.

 

 

News Reporter 1: What if Mrs. Castle says "no deal"?
News Reporter 2: How will you cope then?
Rita O'Grady : Cope? How will we cope? We're women. Now, don't ask such stupid questions.

Robert Tooley : Mind if I ask, what do you think of our little problem over at the factory? Do you think maybe he's a bit too much velvet glove, not enough iron fist?

Lisa Hopkins : Not at all, no. Quite the opposite, actually. Look at Vauxhall. They don't have any problems with the unions. And that seems to be because General Motors have a more collaborative approach to management. Whereas at Ford you only deal with the unions because you have to. You tolerate them. And as a result they're more entrenched and they're aggressive in their dealings with you
