The Trade Union Pint by Martin Duffy
Considered the best employers in Ireland, if not the world, Guinness cared for their workers with good wages, health care, culturally and practical. This is the story of two families and their allies. They were the most unlikely of partners: model employers renowned for their standard of care for their staff, and the sons and leaders of a trade union established by a man whose vision for Irish workers had brought the first open conflict between employer and employee in Ireland: a man who once declared he was on a 'divine mission of discontent'. On one side was 'Big Jim' Larkin and his sons; on the other side, the Guinness generations. Both families were visionary - one brought trade unionism to Ireland, the other led the way in care for Irish workers. Their story is not without heartache: commitment to the trade union caused marital problems and family issues and these are recounted, adding humanity to this trade union revolution.
Duffy, Martin: - Martin Duffy lives in Sussex, England and writes on the subjects of folk magic, mythology and the occult arts; in particular the manner in which they relate to traditional witchcraft lore and practices. His essays have appeared in the pages of THE CAULDRON and CLAVIS JOURNAL. He also contributed an essay to an anthology published by Llewellyn, concerning the manner in which occult philosophy informs and permeates the working of practical folk-magic. Mr. Duffy's first title for Three Hands Press is The Devil's Raiments, treating the subject of traditional ritual vestments and attire, and their symbolism. His latest book, concerning image magic, is Effigy: Of Graven Image and Holy Idol.
