I spoke with Marion Jones of Dowlais d'wetha week for his work in several factories around Merthyr Tydfil, before she went to work at Hoover cesse Hoover Pentrebach in 1963. He stayed with until her retirement in 1988. "They were employers very good. 'said Marion.
In early 70's, and Marion is now an official with the union at the factory, went to Hoover women to ask their employers for equal pay with men. 'They were inspired by women Ford / Dagenham and their campaign for equal pay them two years earlier. Cafwydd supported by the Employment Secretary, cesse Barbara Castle, and victory after the parliament passed the Equal Pay Act in 1970. He agreed to pay the managers Hoover same rate of pay for women ' the men.
But unfortunately, it was the men in the workforce is totally opposed to the proposal and went on unofficial strike to oppose the company's decision. However, the women stuck to each other with the support of the local MP, Ann Clwyd. Hoover managers he kept to their word, and pay equal wages to women despite their appalling effort to prevent co-workers gwrwaidd.

The iconic building of the Hoover 1940, Ford will display a banner in the film and is clearly evident in the scenes outside, and it was Marion knew the rooms inside the factory where some of the scenes were shot, because their distinctive shape.
