One hundred years after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, 
we look at some of the major struggles facing workers today in

fires, 26 workers making clothes for U.S. companies were

States, meanwhile, are facing a resurgent assault on salaries, 
benefits and their right to organize—as epitomized in 
Wisconsin’s anti-union bill.
