Youth march against sweatshops
About 100 people, mostly young women, marched from the
Washington Square Arch to the former site of the Triangle
Shirtwaist factory on Dec. 9. They were protesting sweatshop
conditions at Wal-Mart and other low-wage corporations. In
1911, 146 workers, most of them women immigrants, died in a
fire at the Triangle factory because the bosses had locked the
exit doors.
