Working Class Hero

Wolfie is told that he must accept work or else lose his dole money so he reluctantly starts at an electrical goods factory - only to find that Charlie is his boss. Appalled that there is no trade union, he brings the factory out on strike, with the result that all staff must now join a union - including an unenthusiastic Dad. And with Charlie seeking revenge by giving Wolfie the worst jobs, there is only one thing to do - resign! Originally scheduled for broadcast on 22 December 1978, but rescheduled due to industrial action.
