happened as
a result of
the 1913
lockout?

The lockout ended in 1914
Most workers returned to
work and signed pledges
not to join unions

workers' solidarity had been firmly
established. No future employer
would ever try to "break" a union,

with the ITGWU
However….

conditions
One of the most important
impacts of 1913 was to make
people more aware of the urgent
need to improve living conditions
in Dublin. Prompted by Lady
Aberdeen.

8. The sacrifices of the thousands of
workers during the Lockout slowly
began to pay off.
More attention was paid to improving
housing, health, and sanitary
conditions.
No longer could the wealthy ignore
the poverty of their own city.
