The Triangle workers went on strike seeking better wages and hours, improved working conditions and union representation. The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, negotiated with strikers an increase in wages and working conditions, but refused to allow unions to organize in their factory. The factory workers agreed to go back to work without union representation. How would these factory workers have benefited from being part of the union? Would this has improved the safety conditions of the factory or was more government involvement necessary?…
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was one of the most tragic fires in New York City up until the terrorist attack on the world trade center on 9/11. On a late spring Saturday afternoon on March 25, 1911 near closing time , the top three floors of the Asch building in the triangle shirtwaist factory caught fire. This fire would change New York tremendously. 147 woman and children out of the 275 working that day died in this fire (women history.about.com/od/triangle/a/shirtwaist_fact_4.him). If it was not the fire that killed them, it was the impact from the jump they took from the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth floor. It was devastating for the bystanders and families watching their neighbors and loved ones jump to their death. Remaining and future workers garnered the much needed support of labor unions because of this tragic event. The women and children that worked for the shirtwaist factory owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris were working under deplorable conditions. Although, their building was considered a more modern building with a high sealing and more updated machinery, it lacked human rights and safe working condition. Mr. Harris and Mr. Blanck considered these women and children two hands, not human beings.…

Laurie Sigel has been appointed as a senior vice president for human resources in Tyco International effective from January 2nd 2003. Tyco International CEO and Chairman Edward D Breen (July2002 to September 2012) hired new set of managers, after he fired the entire board of directors and the leadership team whoever accused of things like granting unauthorized bonuses and involving in an accounting scandal for using the company funds as personal fund. The new team has been challenged to address the issues. One of them was Laurie Siegel has asked by CEO to take over the human resources operations. Her first step was to draft a company code of ethics. Ms. Siegel did not write Tyco’s new ethical policies. Tyco has never had a companywide computer system or even an intranet. Far more troubling, it did not have a strong corporate governance function or a bonus system that made any real sense. ''There was no question that the rules of the road had to be first on the plate,'' she said. As first step, MS. Siegel didn’t make the new ethical polices, but she recruited a department (internal auditors) who can enforce the ethics and values on to the employees though ethics training sessions and make the employees clear about the ethics and code of conduct. She framed strict laws and disciplinary actions for who violates code of conduct and practices unethical actions. She has requested compensation team to revise the Tyco’s current compensation policy and the system that awards the huge bonuses to anyone who ''somehow drove the numbers up'' with one based on assessments of how managers set and meet goals. Tyco's bonus budget for the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2003 was reduced by $90 million, or 25 percent when compared to last year. She has responsibility to take forward the company in the core areas like improving skills of employees, Compensation, befits, developing leadership qualities, effective administration, executing a strategy to restore the confidence of…
