A group of workers are working in a railway depot in the south of Yorkshire. We are in the period of privatisation of the British Rail. Nothing is as it used to be: every single union’s negotiation is considered an impasse to “growth”. Competition entails a reduction of expenses and the safeguarding of the workers’ rights is getting weaker and weaker. The railway maintenance workers turn to be against each other, and the company wants to reach the best profit at a minimum cost. The workers react as they can, and their stories go from comedy to tragedy. |
