| Bodies of dead seamstresses who jumped from the burning Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. http://goo.gl/HVuh7 |
- Based upon what I have read, labor unions were good people because ... they made good working conditions, higher pay, and they wanted to stop child labor.
- The triangle shirtwaist company was a sweatshop in which 146 seamstresses died because they jumped ut of a nine story building . These deaths could have been prevented if they had good wokring conditions.
- Monopolists did not want unions because they they were trying to take pay the workers more and for less hours. Union members did not like scabs because the tycoons were taking advanage of the workers .
- Many factory and sweatshop owners disliked the vision of unions like the IWW because they gave dignity and soildarity to unskilled workers and afiican americans.
