On The Ground

Synopsis

Charts labour relations in the airline industry, unravelling the story of how baggage handlers - classified as unskilled workers - built tense but mutually useful alliances with their skilled co-workers such as aircraft mechanics and made gains in wages and working conditions, even in the era of complacent labour in the 1950s and 1960s.
