Vale Jimmy Donovan
The MUA is mourning the loss of Jimmy Donovan, a former WWF and MUA Sydney Branch official, lifelong member of the Communist Party, and a resolute member of the working class until his last day.
As a child, Jimmy was brought to the Waterside Workers Federation’s union rooms by his mum, Jessie, who enrolled her nine year old son in art classes delivered there by artist Nan Horton in the union library built by Tom Nelson. It was as a child that Jimmy saw the Sydney wharfies’ mural first take shape in its and his formative years of development.
