Fifty Years on

Synopsis

Examines the production process in a Glasgow factory now operated by United Biscuits. Looks at the operation of the plant in 1928 and compares it with present processes. Two main issues are raised: the technological changes that have taken place and the way that these and other changes have affected jobs.
