Saw a preview for a British movie (I think) about a guy whose dad was a blue collar worker who ended up higher up in a union.
The dad worked to send the kid to school and he ended up being a labor lawyer, and there was a strike and maybe they were sort of pitted against each other. Something like that. Anybody seen that? Maybe from the late 90s early 2000s?

Here you go OP.

Human Resources

quote:

The 35-hour work week has all of France in its thrall. This film turns it into a feature about economic and familial politics. Frank, a business school graduate, returns to his provincial hometown to take a management position in the factory where his father has been working for 30 years. First Frank makes the mistake of actually asking the workers on the assembly line for their opinions. Then upper management manipulates his findings to lay off employees. This creates a huge rift, not only between labor and management, but between father and son. A human morality tale that evokes paternal and filial love, and illustrates the personal risk behind political ideas.

Sounds like a Ken Loach film, but I'm not familiar with this exact plot.
