Essay On Triangle Factory Fire

I am doing my report on what the impact of the Triangle Factory Fire has to do with how our world. It obviously has had many changes and impacted a lot on our world. The Triangle Factory Fire started on 9th floor killing tons of people because of the workers environment. Some of the exits and stairwells had been locked so nobody would leave, but that was just one bad decision, leaving many people dying from jumping out of windows and being asphyxiated by smoke. “ Thanks to the efforts of the ILGWU and all who fought for workplace reforms, real changes got underway immediately; in 1911, New York State initiated the most comprehensive investigation of factory conditions in U.S. history. Their conclusions informed new standards that other states across the
country replicated and built upon in subsequent years.” Said Keith Mestrich. It seems like nearly every year another workplace disaster happens.
