This week, Danny is talking about the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. One of the deadliest workplace fires in US history. A story about the criminal exploitation of Immigrant Labor. Deeply Flawed Fire Control systems. And employers that put their profits far above worker safety.
We begin with garment manufacturing's early history and the use of Tenement sweatshops. The early garment industry fed on and took advantage of a stream of new immigrants fleeing Europe in the millions.
We talk about the growth of the labor movement and the Shirtwaist strike of 1909. And then get into what made the Triangle factory so dangerous and prone to disaster.
