“Being in a union means I have real power & I’m not alone. I have a voice & I share that with thousands of workers. My union helped me grow & gave me the confidence to speak up for myself & others."
"...I heard about Local 26 from friends in other Boston hotels. I learned about how the Union can protect working people. After we won our contract, I became a shop steward, so that I can continue fighting for everyone in my department.” 🧵(2/2)

Their deaths sparked outrage and helped build the garment workers’ movement that would eventually become part of the union we know today as UNITE HERE. We remember them and the fight for safer workplaces that continues today.
Today we remember the 146 garment workers who lost their lives in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on March 25, 1911. Many were young immigrant women working long hours to support their families.

🗣️ “We carry the burden of caretaking when we already have to work 6-7 day weeks, picking up extra hours just to get by. That’s not sustainable...I hope employers recognize this by lowering healthcare costs & increasing wages so that one full-time job is enough!”

“To be Black in UNITE HERE is to turn invisible labor into indisputable power. We carry the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement onto the picket line, proving that a union contract is a tool for racial and economic justice. As advocates, we lead with the conviction that our work matters; we organize so our voices aren't just heard in the break room but felt in the boardroom. We stand together to demand the dignity and equity we've already earned.” - Brian Rice, Local 24 “I fight because struggle didn't break me - it built me. My story isn't finished, and I intend for it to be powerful.” - Antoine Meeks, Local 24
