What began as a small bin fire on the 8th floor of an unsafe factory, would end in the tragic and untimely death of 146 workers. Sorrow turned to outrage, and this tragedy would push sweeping labor reform throughout the United States, inspiring the New Deal and other pieces of progressive legislation that still inform our labor rights today.
