Never heard of it.
Obviously it is a big UNION moment to attempt to connect to modern times.

Well now the circle is complete. Unions are burning down the nation.

Good info at the Cornell Univ website. A true American tragedy.

Shirtwaist was THE big event which escalated Union power way back when.

The public was snookered into thinking that if one private company was evil they all were.

The fact that I've seen Shirtwaist multiple times in the news lately tells me that Unions are flailing around for something that will give them a lifeline.

The Triangle Shirtwaste fire is a mandatory case study for anyone in fire prevention or occupational safety...as well as the MGM Grand and Coconut Grove fires.
