![Today in labor history, August 26, 1913: Members of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union in Dublin, Ireland, go on strike for union recognition. A concerted effort by hundreds of the city’s employers resulted in a lockout of over 20,000 workers. For months, picketing workers and their Irish Citizen Army battled scabs and the police in what would become known as the Dublin Lockout.

One of my favorite statues in Dublin is the Larkin statue, commemorating this moment. Right on O’Connell Street.
