Triangle Fire

Dark cramped shops made exhausting work still more difficult and dangerous. The end of a 10 or 12 hour day was only the beginning of a long walk or ride home to scant food and crowded rooms.

Fire escape on side of building Fire escape on side of building. Made of poor quality metal that melted during the fire.

The 240 employees sewing shirtwaists on the ninth floor had their escape blocked by back-to-back chairs and workbaskets in the aisles. The 75-foot long paired sewing machine tables obstructed essential access to the windows, stairs, and elevators.

What was life like in factories? Who: How long: What: EVERYONE (men, women, & children) 12 hours, 6 days a week Piecework … paid by how much you produce = VERY DEMANDING

REACTIONS to conditions 1.) Labor unions = organization formed to protect workers’ interests a.)American Federation of Labor i. Samuel Gompers ii. Organized unskilled laborers iii. increase wages, better hours and conditions

2.) Strikes: stoppage of work a.) Haymarket riot – want 8hour work day i. scabs = people who work when everyone is on strike ii. strikers fight scabs … bombs thrown at police  riot

b.) Pullman strike – protest wage cuts & conditions i. owner forced workers to live in a company town & pay rent to the company (took all of the workers $) ii. at height of strike company was shut down (stopped rail traffic and mail) a) = interfered with interstate commerce (violates Sherman Anti Trust Act) iii. government brought in to end the strike … Sherman Anti-trust act = no trusts / monopolies (interfere with trade) & does not recognize unions  courts say no STRIKES!!!
