📅 19 Juli 1984 📍 Ierland

Mary Manning refused to handle South African produce at a Dunnes Stores checkout in Dublin, following her union's boycott instruction. Suspension and solidarity action began a prolonged strike by a small group of workers, most of them women. They challenged the commercial relationships sustaining apartheid and demonstrated how workplace action in another country could contribute to a liberation struggle.
