During this period, the average number of workers was around 2,000. In the One-Party State era, Óbuda Shipyard was considered a socialist factory, and this affected the everyday lives of the factory workers; in 1952, even a workers’ director was appointed. In addition, shipyard pride remained decisive throughout, which was manifested not only in the work competition of the brigade movement, but also in social and community collaborations.
From 1958, the factory newspaper Hajóépítő was published, and from 1963, the factory’s monthly newspaper, Hajó-Daru. From the 1960s, working and wage conditions improved again, and the plant management provided numerous opportunities to satisfy the workers’ leisure, relaxation and entertainment needs (company resorts and rest houses, domestic and foreign trips, professional training, school classes, art sponsorship, sports events, an expanded library, cultural events and naming ceremonies).
