Question

The early twentieth century was a difficult time for New York City's garment workers, many of whom were immigrant women who worked long hours in dangerous factories for poverty-level wages. After the garment workers went on strike in 1910, some factory owners improved their workplaces and allowed employees to join unions. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was a notable exception: the owners resisted a union and continued to maintain shoddy working conditions. On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out at the factory. Many workers were trapped inside; the rickety fire escape collapsed, and the only accessible exit had been locked. In all, 146 workers perished. The tragedy sparked public outrage about labor injustices, and citizens pressed their government to take action. Consequently, over the next few years, New York's legislature passed many laws designed to improve workplace safety.
