Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

I am of a generation that was actually taught the history of labor unions and the labor movement in high school.....they don't teach it anymore. I learned about the Triangle murders in high school. It's always puzzled me that folks are always talking about when mothers did not work outside the home. That little fairy tale has never been true. It was all women in that fire.

I have never been a big fan of a standing labor union and vehemently disagree with some of it's tactics to this day. I DO absolutely without reservation support the right to collective bargaining.

Funny thing is now happening based on how 'The Captains and the Kings' are behaving. Right now, today, we do need standing labor unions..........we need that voice representing labor organized and fighting. Those carpetbagging asshats have pushed me into supporting standing labor unions.
