The 1909 Triangle Shirtwaist Strike.

Google it, read it, and learn. Those women had more courage than all of the American people today combined.

When it comes to the work place the American people today are fucking sheep.

Un fortunately many of those women died in a fire. Many of them jumped to their deaths. They laid in a pile on the side walk, their clothes still smoking from the fire.

Learn about courage. Learn about laying it all on the line. The American people have forgotten. I have seen the lack of courage today in our workplaces. I have been hurt by it. We are all being hurt by it.

I have fought, I have laid it all on the line more than once during my 40 years of working. I cannot say that about my co- workers. They cut their own throats. They sat there like sheep.
