Betty Matier |
Packer at Ulster Hosiery and Berkshire |
|---|---|
I commennced in the UHL Dundonald in December 1967 as a packer and was so greatful for the training organised for me by Tony Ross. My twin sister Sadie McCartney was the Shop Steward at that time. My time of working at the Berkshire was the happiest time of my working life..and a big highight was the Christmas Dinners and the buzz that went with it. |

Some of my workmates at Ulster Hosiery in 1971 were Nora Wadell, Elsie Moore, Sadie McCartney, Mary McGilton,and Kathleen Lamb |
