En spennende australsk dokumentar, mange år underveis, som følger en gruppe målbevisste lokale kvinner i deres 14 år lange kamp for retten til å jobbe i Wollongongs stålindustri.
Forty years ago, director Robynne Murphy, one of the leaders of Wollongong’s 1980-1994 Jobs for Women Campaign, joined hundreds of migrant/working class women to take on Australia’s most powerful company BHP – and initially they seemed to have won. But when the 1983 steel slump devastated the city’s economy, the women were forced into the courtroom and onto the streets to face a prolonged battle for equality.
