The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (APEX)
The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (APEX) grew larger as a result of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, was a clothing manufacturer, located on the lower east side of Manhattan, that employed a large number of immigrant women workers. The building had not been built in a way that allowed for a quick exit, if the need arose. As a result, when a fire broke out in the factory, the women were trapped and many perished in the fire.
Several dozen employees of Triangle Shirtwaist, all women and mostly young, died in a fire there, partly because the doors were locked (to prevent employees from leaving early). The result was legislation requiring various safety measures in factories.

Tighter labor laws.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was made much worse for several reasons. The factory was far too crowded to enable everyone to escape safely. The fire doors were kept locked, which prevented anyone from getting out safely. The building was also not up to fire codes, so it went up in flames much faster and was unsafe from the beginning.
The Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which resulted in the deaths of 146 workers, exposed unsafe working conditions in factories. This led to increased awareness and a push for workplace reforms such as improved fire safety regulations, better working conditions, and increased workers' rights. The tragic event served as a catalyst for labor movements and legislative changes aimed at protecting workers.
As a result of very poor safety practices, a fire at a garment factory on an upper floor of a building resulted in the death of 146 people. Many were young women, and their deaths were witnessed by thousands of people. This resulted in outrage among the general population, and a demand for safety regulation to prevent a recurrence.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911 highlighted the unsafe working conditions and lack of labor rights faced by garment workers, particularly women. The tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of 146 workers, galvanized public outrage and drew attention to the need for better safety regulations and labor reforms. As a result, the garment workers' union gained momentum as it advocated for improved working conditions, increased wages, and better rights for workers. This event marked a turning point in the labor movement, leading to greater solidarity among workers and increased union membership.
