Maybe not a real "good employer" as you say.
I remember often when the boat with the next consignment of parts did not dock on time in dublin, being told (along with the other 300 or so employees)
Not to come into work the next day, but to check each morning at 8am, in other words come to the front gate and if the parts had arrived, we could start work.
Different days I know, and no easy access to telephones either.
I spent 2 years there and to be honest it was a bit of a mad house.
Full of real old dublin characters, and a few nutters also.

I recall the slogan we would shout out when on strike, and it goes like this.

Hey hey GA, how many kids will you starve today.
