Every Labor Day, I remember the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. I learned about the fire when I worked at New York University and learned the Factory building still stood — about a minute’s walk from my office. The factory’s doors were locked on the upper floors to prevent the workers from leaving on breaks; when the fire started, workers were trapped and unable to evacuate. 146 people died in what remains one of the deadliest industrial catastrophes in U.S. history.

What came of this tragedy was a fight and legislation for workers rights.

On this Labor Day, I’m thankful for unions and the worker protections and benefits they provide. As a vested member of AFL-CIO and AFT, I appreciate what the union has given to me. As a legislator, I work to give back.

Read about fire on Wikipedia.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire occurred in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, a borough of New York City, on Saturday, March 25, 1911.

Republicans working hard to disenfranchise Democrat voters in Michigan (mentioned further down in the story). Of course, many Republicans will also not have their mail-in ballots counted, but more Democrats mail their ballots the idea is to break the vote. Considering that the DOJ sent their "poll watchers" to my district during the primary, I'm very well aware of their scheme to disenfranchise the voters of State House District 10.

A judge temporarily blocked the agency from refusing to deliver ballots in noncompliant states, which could disproportionately affect Democrats and many battleground elections.

Supreme Court approves of Trump having directed the U.S. Post Office to mail ballots of only people on an “approved list”. Here’s your rigged election — thanks to our Republican POTUS and legislators who support him.

The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.

Republican ideal of Senate leadership and workforce development: put a shop class in every high school. Seriously? Is that all ya got? That’s his plan for Congress?
