Miss O'Grady... Rita O'Grady:
No it's Mrs. O'Grady. Peter Hopkins:
Mrs. O'Grady I understand your grievances... Rita O'Grady:
Oh I don't think you do! It's not difficult, though. We're entitled to semi-skilled and the wages that go with it. Peter Hopkins:

It's cause women have never been on strike before. You just thought you could forget it and we'll go away, well I'm sorry but it isn't going to be that easy, cause we're not going anywhere. We're gonna do what we said we would: no more overtime, and an immediate twenty-four hour stoppage
