The Irish
have a proud and storied history when it comes to America’s Labor movement. Indeed, whenever and wherever there was a struggle
for workers rights, the Irish were there, dating back to the early days of the Pennsylvania
Coal Miners Unions to the present day efforts to secure living wages and
pension protections for America’s workforce.

Echo newspaper held its “Irish Labor 10” Awards ceremony in Manhattan on
September 25th to celebrate today’s Irish Labor leaders, as well as
to remember those workers and leaders of the labor movement in the past whose
struggles and sacrifices have given all of us certain workplace rights that we
have come to enjoy today.
