Last week, the Mercury news had an article (sort of an obituary) about the last survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire in NYC (1914 ??) who died recently at 107. To the end, she emphacized that 146 women died because the bosses habitually locked them in and didn't bother to unlock the door when the fire was discovered. This fire was a strong catalyst for the formation of the ILGWU and the union made it a "a good place to be from."

To remedy the ills of working people around the world, we must support a free union movement in all the countries we import goods from.
