Unions rebel in Kildare in 1936
An interesting mention in the Leinster Leader of December 1936 of labour force unrest in Kildare Town.Leinster Leader 5/12/1936
THE LABOUR TROUBLES IN KILDARE.
Mid-week in Kildare town found no abatement of the dispute between proprietors of five leading business houses and their former employees. The establishments in question continue to be rigorously picketed by Union men. Our representative learned, however, that movements are on foot, with the object of bringing about a settlement. Leading citizens of the town-not directly affected by the dispute-have met with the object of seeking a way out and prominent leaders of Labour have been consulted. It is possible also that the Minister for Industry and Commerce may be approached with a view to intervention.
