Memorial dedicated to victims of 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire that spurred US labor movement

A new memorial has been unveiled at the former Triangle Shirtwaist factory site in NYC to honor the 146 victims who died in the 1911 fire.
The memorial features a steel ribbon with victims' names and reflective panels with quotes from eyewitnesses.
The victims, mostly immigrant women and girls, died due to unsafe working conditions and lack of safety regulations.
The tragedy galvanized the labor movement to advocate for protective workplace laws and workers' rights.
The memorial serves as a reminder that issues of workers' rights and treatment are still relevant today.
