Honoring Irish America’s labor legacy

Who would you nominate? 
The contribution of the Irish in America to the cause of labor has been nothing less than immense. Indeed, it could be argued that the American labor movement would not exist at all in its current form without the efforts of the standout Irish men and women through the years. It is with both immigrant arrivals and American-born in mind that the Irish Echo, in association with LiUNA, is hosting an event on September 25th at the Edison Ballroom. This year we will be honoring 10 Irish-American men and women in today’s labor movement, while at the same time reflecting on the work of those historical giants who paved the way to labor’s central role in contemporary American life.
