Post Office Workers Union

March of Irish Postal Workers Strike with banners September 1922

Postal Union Strike 1922

A selection of material from the Post Office Workers Union records held in the Society Collections relating to the seminal 1922 Postal Strike. The support of the Communications Workers Union and Dublin City Library & Archives in making these available is much appreciated.

The End of the Strike and Aftermath

After the strike was declared off the unions continued to correspond with the Post Office, chiefly about victimisation and the payment of increments. Spirits were still defiant, workers in Limerick demanded that their office be "cleaned and thoroughly disinfected, particularly the quarters occupied by the scabs".
