Join NY Local President Rebecca Damon at this important commemorative event.
On March 25, 1911, 146 workers – mostly young, immigrant women – were killed in a horrific fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Inadequate fire escapes, locked doors, and an overall disregard for worker safety contributed to this terrible disaster.
Every year, at the site of the fire, the NYC Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO joins with Workers United, Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition, and other labor affiliates and working people to remember these 146 workers whose deaths helped make workplaces safer for us today. This commemoration educates rank and file union members, activists, students and community allies about workplace safety and collective bargaining rights.
When: 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., Monday, March 25, 2019
Where: Washington Place and Greene Street, Lower Manhattan
