Triangle Factory Fire Response

     My reaction to these events would be frustration, outrage, and sadness. Sadness/mourning obviously because of the workers who died due to shortcuts taken by the owners to save themselves a few bucks. Frustration because this isn't the first time that workers have been injured and/or killed in their workplace. Finally, outraged because there isn't one big-business owner out there who is actually putting worker safety where it should be, ahead of money. I think that these business owners should be put in prison for indirect murder of their employees by purposefully ignoring any sort of common-sense safety measures.

     The events during and after the Triangle Factory Fire tie into the Progressive Era because people after the fire began pushing for changes in workplace safety measures. They began saying that it's not right to let your workers die for the sole purpose of saving some money. This push for progression in workplace safety measures is very similar to the other pushes for workplace progression during the Progressive Era.
