546 - The Dunnes Store Strike, "The Most Dangerous Supermarket Workers In The World"

Those suffering under Apartheid in South Africa found a group of unlikely allies in 1984, when a group of young retail workers in Ireland went on strike after refusing to handle goods from South Africa. What started as a tiny movement slowly grew until the Irish government and the rest of Europe were under pressure to act... This is the story of 'The Grapefruit Ladies' also known as 'The Most Dangerous Supermarket Workers In The World." This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 11:05 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
