        Back on topic.

        This pic belongs more here than anywhere else.

        The hanging effigy is what the people thought of William Martin Murphy who was responsible for the idea of locking trades union workers out of work and in turn starving Dublin's poor labourers families, who suffered intimidation and violence at the hands of the police....Corporation Buildings was one such place where cops beat the living daylights out of some of the menfolk for no sound reason.

        Foremost among employers opposed to trade unionism in Ireland, was William Martin Murphy, Ireland's most prominent capitalist, born in Castletownbere Co Cork. In 1913, Murphy was chairman of the Dublin United Tramway Company and owned Clery's department store and the Imperial Hotel. He controlled the Irish Independent, Evening Herald and Irish Catholic newspapers and was a major shareholder in the B&I Line. Murphy was also a prominent nationalist and a former Home Rule MP in Westminster.

        Even today, his defenders insist he was a charitable man and a good employer, and that his workers received fair wages. Yet conditions in his many enterprises were often poor or worse, with employees given only one day off in 10 while being forced to labour up to 17 hours a day.

        Dublin tramway workers were paid substantially less than their counterparts in Belfast and Liverpool, and were subjected to a regime of punitive fines, probationary periods extending for as long as six years, and a culture of company surveillance, involving widespread use of informers.

        Murphy was vehemently opposed to trade unions, which he saw as an attempt to interfere with his business. In particular, he was opposed to Larkin, whom he saw as a dangerous revolutionary. In July 1913, Murphy presided over a meeting of 300 employers, during which a collective response to the rise of trade unionism was agreed.

        Murphy and the employers were determined not to allow the ITGWU to unionise the Dublin workforce. On 15 August, Murphy dismissed 40 workers he suspected of ITGWU membership, followed by another 300 over the next week.

              You mentioned it.....You must be upset because I got the better of him.....


              Most ''strikers'' were treated like that in those days.......Was different in my days when employers were made to adhere to Union rules....

              Arthur Scargill was an idiot because he ignored his own Unions rules.....He lost....
