Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Still Burns 100 Years Later

If you haven’t already read in one of the Huffington Post’s 200 articles about the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, this may come as a surprise to you that today is the 100 year anniversary of the tragedy.

In 1911 in Greenwich Village, New York, 146 women and teenage girls were killed in a large factory fire reportedly after someone dropped their cigarette.

The controversy with the event comes from the doors the factory owners padlocked to keep their workers from stealing the cloth they worked with. This combined with inadequate fire escapes lead to the mass death of the mostly Jewish and Italian victims.

You can only imagine the hysteria surrounding the incident.

If you have read one of the Huffington Post’s 200 articles about the event you may be aware of the connections between the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the recent protests in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.

Factory conditions are rarely great, but when 100 years after a small holocaust occurs inside of a New York City factory due to negligence and mistreatment, regressive legislation comes suggesting less worker protection, there is a cause for concern.

And concerned we are.

    The horrific event mentioned in your article , Colleen , occurred during the period when we were still working-out our business/employee relationships .

    Worker safety is paramount now in the working place , due to unions ! and government innovations .

    This , in my opinion , reveals a deeper issue , a much deeper issue related to the enmity between the sexes . . . . the brutality of men against women .

    A “New Age” is dawning . . . . . . we have awakened to our follies and the power of women has never before , been so apparent .

      Please , Colleen , accept my apology ; we are waking-up , mostly because women now have a vital voice : and speak their minds .
