The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City caught fire on this day 114 years ago, causing the deaths of 146 garment workers -- mostly young immigrant women, of Jewish and Italian heritage, who jumped from the 9th and 10th floors because the fire department's ladders weren’t long enough to reach them.

Unions are the result of disasters, abuse & the need to protect workers from employers.
They did not arise just to make owners, CEOs, board members, & stockholders pay the actual producers fair & reasonable wages, safety & security.
Remember #TriangleShirtWaistFire! The doors were locked daily.
