Description
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, a pivotal moment in American labour history, is commemorated by this centennial edition. On March 25, 2011, 146 garment workers lost their lives in the devastating blaze.
This substantial new foreword by labor journalist Michael Hirsch provides fresh perspective on the tragedy, while a new appendix lists all victims' names, addresses at the time of death and locations of final resting places. A detailed account of this pivotal event remains relevant for those fighting for workers' rights and safety.
