<p>On today’s show, we remember the March 25, 1911 <a href='https://aflcio.org/about/history/labor-history-events/triangle-shirtwaist-fire'>Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire</a>, the deadliest industrial disaster in the history of New York City, and one of the deadliest in U.S. history. From <a href='https://unionstrong.podbean.com/'>Union Strong</a>, the podcast from the New York State AFL-CIO, “A Day in History that Changed Workplace Safety”; a look back at the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire through an interview with Edgar Romney, the Secretary-Treasurer of Workers United. Then, from <a href='https://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/'>Labor History in 2:00</a>, “Industrial Murder at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory”. Next, historian Annelise Orleck discusses the labor-rights activism of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory workers on <a href='https://www.democracynow.org/shows/'>Democracy Now</a>.
