'Unite – the union’ mural at Transport House, Victoria
Street, Belfast. Jim Larkin is depicted, addressing
the dock workers. This mural was painted by Danny and Marty Lyons.
‘Liverpool-born organiser for the British-based National
Union of Dock Labourers, James Larkin, was the prime mover. His most famous success
was in Belfast in 1907 when he succeeded in uniting Catholic and Protestant
workers in strike action against the employers.' (http://socialistreview.org.uk/383/stamp-militancy)
