The equal rights amendment, labor rights and suffrage are all related because they each led and created the space for the next to occur. Each fight was worth fighting and allowed for a change to come. Labor rights are also issues of gender issues, as shown in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that took place on March 25, 1911 in Manhattan, New York City. This tragedy took the lives of 146 young women and girls. The incident is a clear example of how these young women were not protected in the workplace and the importance of labor rights. Following the catastrophe, on April 5, 1911 a funeral was held for the victims of the fire, which contained over 350,000 people in attendance. Crazy to think think that the owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory both Max Blanck and Isaac Harris were equally charged with manslaughter but ultimately found not guilty. In today’s society I do see these historical issues enacted, New York passed the Sullivan-Hoey Fire Prevention law in October 1911, in accordance with the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Which requires factory owners to install sprinkler systems. As well as mandatory breaks when working more than 5 or 6 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
