{"product_id":"lockout-dublin-1913","title":"Lockout: Dublin 1913","description":"Lockout is the story of the most famous labor dispute in Irish history. On August 26, 1913 the trams stopped running in Dublin. Striking conductors and drivers, members of the Irish Transport Workers' Union, abandoned their vehicles. They had refused a demand from their employer, William Martin Murphy of the Dublin United Transport Company, to forswear union membership or face dismissal. The company then locked them out. Within a month, the charismatic union leader, James Larkin, had called out over 20,000 workers across the city in sympathetic action. By January 1914 the union had lost the battle, lacking the resources for a long campaign. But it won the war: 1913 meant that there was no going back to the horrors of pre-Larkin Dublin.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0717128911\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0717128911.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yeates, Padraig\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
