Drew Flynn · Answer 1

It may not seem that the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, which happened over a century ago in New York City, would be relevant today - but it is. It was a tragedy that opened the nation's eyes to poor working conditions in garment factories and other workplaces, and set in motion a historic era of labor reforms. Mar 25, 2014
