9:02Now PlayingThe American labor movement as we know it today in fact rose from the ashes of a New York City garment factory fire that killed 146 workers more than a century ago.
The Asche building at 23 Washington Place in downtown Manhattan — known then as the Triangle Waist Company headquarters — was home to one of the most successful clothing companies of the day.
“At the time, a job at Triangle was considered a really good job,” Gina DeAngelis, author of “The Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire of 1911,” told Post Video.
The factory boasted big windows with lots of light and airflow — a luxury for the mostly immigrant working class — and electricity, which meant they could produce more, faster than most family-owned garment shops.
