With a plot revolving around union resistance to Taylorism, I'm All Right Jack (1959) should have plenty to interest someone I know. Margaret Rutherford, Terry Thomas and John Le Mesurier all pull off their usual turns with aplomb, but Peter Sellers, as shop steward Fred Kite, steals every scene he's in.
