I haven’t read or seen anything about the fire that occurred at the Triangggle Shirtwaist factory in a long time. I feel not so disappointed because we have made progress in the world in terms of human rights, employee rights and discrimination. However, even business owners continue to abuse their employees, they have better pay but not the one they deserve for the hours and quality of the employees at work. For example, Amazon is one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world. The market has millions of workers who work long hours, they have improved the ground a little but many of them do not have discounts to buy from the same company compared to other organizations whose employees have discounts, life insurance and a better salary.
I think that the workers, when they are employees, must obey the orders because it is the only way for them to be able to bring food to their table. However, I think that they should create organizations to give them more power and help the employees defend their rights because the workers are the head of A company cannot succeed without them

Hi Merichel!
I agree that although with time some progress has been made, there are still workers who are treated so poorly and are underpaid. Amazon is a great example, the company is known worldwide and makes so much money, even through the pandemic. Yet the employees aren’t receiving all the benefits and perks they deserve. These big companies are so greedy, it’s so frustrating.
