Rosie, christened ‘Rosanna’, was born in Dublin in 1892.
Rosie lived in a tenement on Bolton Street.
In 1911 Rosie moved to a small cottage in Abbey Street.
As a teenager, Rosie worked as a packer in a paper store and
Then got a job in Jacobs’s biscuits.
When the Irish Transport and General Workers Union was
founded in 1909, Rosie joined.
Two weeks after the famous Jacobs strike, Rosie cofounded the
Irish women workers (IWWU), along with Delia Larkin.
In 1913, being actively involved in the trade union movement, she once again helped to organise the women in Jacobs to strike and protest against poor working conditions.
When the tram workers went on strike the Jacobs factory workers came out on strike to support. In 1914 Rosie lost her job at Jacobs because during the Lockout. Rosie provided basic food and moral support for the strikers. When Rosie got fired she trained as a printer. In 1916 Rosie was involved with the group that printed 1916 proclamation and gave it to James Connelly. After the Rising, Rosie re-founded the IWWU with
Louie Bennett and Helen Chenevix.
Dublin people decided to call this bridge after Rosie Hackett for
What she did. Such as cook for the protesters during the
Lockout and she was part of the first group to print the first
1916 Proclamation and gave it to James Connelly.
That’s just a few things she did during her exceptional lifetime!!!!!
