The year is 1984.
15 women in a fish packing factory in Hull are about to make history...
In the decade that brought us the Walkman, MTV, chicken nuggets and shoulder pads, something else was brewing: a revolution about equal pay.
Following Union Rep Peter Allen on his fight for factory workers, this is a whirlwind retelling of the groundbreaking case which changed the equalities act in the UK forever. Demanding equal pay for equal work, should be easy, right? Wrong!
