Redundant

Opis

Redundancy comes calling for Pauline who has worked for 20 years at a micro-electronics plant, looking after components which keep aircraft hanging safely in the skies. Since her husband died and her daughter went travelling in Australia the job is Pauline's life, her colleagues are her family. But when external ‘employment consultant' Robyn arrives at the plant, Pauline finds herself pitted against her young colleague and friend Alice - a financially vulnerable single mother. If neither one takes up Robin's offer of voluntary redundancy, they will both be required to take a test to prove their worth to the company as a ‘continuing asset' - and there can only be one winner. Will their mutual affection and camaraderie help them pass the test? And how much of Pauline's life and identity is rolled up in her job?
