IMG 5107-001-Jim Larkin
“There can be no dignity in labour, till labour knows no master.”
From Wikipedia:
James Larkin (Irish: Séamas Ó Lorcáin; 21 January 1876 – 30 January 1947), sometimes known as Jim Larkin, was an Irish republican, socialist and trade union leader. He was one of the founders of the Irish Labour Party, Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, Workers' Union of Ireland (the two unions later merged to become SIPTU, Ireland's largest trade union) and the Irish Citizen Army (a paramilitary group which was integral to both the Dublin Lockout and the Easter Rising).
Larkin was born to Irish parents in Liverpool, England. He and his family later moved to a small cottage in Burren, southern County Down. Growing up in poverty, he received little formal education and began working in a variety of jobs while still a child. He became a full-time trade union organiser in 1905.
Larkin moved to Belfast in 1907, but is perhaps best known for his role in the 1913 Dublin Lockout, "Big Jim" continues to occupy a position in Dublin's collective memory.
Larkin was respected by some commentators during and after his lifetime, with George Bernard Shaw describing him as "the greatest Irishman since Parnell", and his friend and colleague in the labour movement James Connolly saying of him "We have amongst us a man of genius, of splendid vitality, great in his conceptions, magnificent in his courage."
