monday mural - unite the union

This is the Unite the Union Transport House in Belfast,.  Photos were taking in Oct 2015.  The info below I found on Wikipedia.

Unite the Union, commonly known as Unite, is a British and Irish trade union, formed on 1 May 2007, by the merger of Amicus and the Transport and General Workers' Union. It is the largest trade union in the UK and Ireland.




 I searched for some info on this sculpture but couldn't find any.  It's quite interesting though, I like it!

    It's very powerfully done - almost an army like workforce and I like the historical images.
    THat is a very nice sculpture in front of the building and I've never noticed it before.

    Nice mural but the artist had a difficult form to work with. Not a wide surface but all kinds off little not really connected surfaces. Still nice work.

    It appears that the mural shows the various trades involved in the union. I also like that sculpture. Hopefully, the union will stay strong. The Republicans and Trump are trying their best to destroy what's left of our unions.

    I like it. It has a modern design but I really like all the people represented.

    It's good to see women on the mural. That's not a given everywhere, even today.

    I like large murals that incorporate the complete side of a building.

    More anonymous art! I just came from Lois' blog where she posted beautiful work from an unknown muralist. Yours is very fine, too.

    The mural looks very East German like....
    Probably a trendy style again now.
