The 1913 Lock Out - Part 2
Show notes
Description: The 1913 Lock Out is in full effect and workers are faced with an urgent question: how will they feed their families?
With the emergence of the 'Save The Kiddies' scheme - which saw children temporarily relocated to homes in the UK - and the establishment of large soup kitchens helmed by activists like Constance Markievicz and Rosie Hackett, the Catholic Church takes steps to ensure the religious piety of its members, at all costs.
On this week’s 'What Were We Like', we tell the story of the 1913 Lock Out and the legacy of this mass trade union effort.
