Today in #LaborHistory 12/28/1907: #NewYork Rent #Strike began. Organized by #Jewish #immigrant #women. Pauline Newman, #ILGWU #TriangleShirtwaist Factory. Strike soon spread throughout NY, with roughly 10,000 tenants taking part. #Landlords broke the strike through mass evictions & #policebrutality

Chris – Just visited the Triangle site twice in the last couple of weeks (as well as Francis Perkins' home in the nabe), and the new (to me) memorial is deeply moving. Worth a visit if ur in the vicinity. #triangleshirtwaist
Visited site of Triangle Shirtwaist Fire this aft on 114th anniversary; triggered immigrant labor, workplace safety & social safety net movements led largely by Fire witness & future Sect'y of Labor Frances Perkins. Found new touching memorial wrapped around bldg. #triangleshirtwaist #francesperkins
Today is the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire that killed 146 garment workers.
This led me to look at ReadThePlaque. I found three plaques which give three very different perspectives of the events around it
