The Plaza Was Owned By The Aggressive And Ambitious Sohel Rana

In conclusion, the urban communities are suffering dangerous conditions in the workplace, unsafe products are being produced, and these workers are facing unbearable living conditions in the slums. The work was incredibly dreary, repetitive, and often times exceptionally dangerous. These workers would work incredibly hard shifts and sadly the products they're producing aren't even safe. The slums were packed with the urban

On a Saturday afternoon, March 25, 1911, a fire started on the top floors of a factory in New York, The Asch Building owned by the Triangle Waist Company. According to the owners, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris were practicing a common procedure in many factories to prevent workers from taking extra breaks and preventing theft. They locked the exit doors. These owners, weren’t held accountable for the deaths of the 146 employees. Numerous workers could not escape from the eighth, ninth and tenth floors. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris would go to trial for their actions of ignoring poor work conditions against “the people.” But this was a time when there was more greed with many factory owners. Owners were not being proactive in making their

Not only were the workers not treated well, the building was also very unsanitary and unsafe. They worked on top of each other in cramped spaces where there were just lines and lines of sewing machines. The exit doors were locked in order to stop the workers from leaving to go to the bathroom. Only the foreman had the keys to unlock the doors.There were four elevators that had access to the factory floors but only one of them were in working condition. In order to get to the working elevator, the workers had to go down a long narrow hallway. This elevator was only able to hold 12 people at a time. Factory floors had no sprinkler system and the entire building only had one fire escape that was not big enough for all of the people in

The original proposal for the site was four skyscrapers and it was approved by the City of Miami, however in 2008 with the recession the project was cancelled.

Wendy Ji, a resident at the Emerald City Condominiums in Taranto, Canada has filed a $30-million class-action lawsuit against the Toronto developer, Elad Canada, for failing to deliver what she claims they promised to. On Emerald City’s website they state the condominium would include “easy underground access to the Don Mills subway.” When Wendy first moved into the apartment she discover something shocking, the underground tunnel connecting the condominium to the subway did not exist. The condo developer claims that “there was never any representation that there would be underground access” to the subway station.

There had been strikes in years before about better working conditions and more safe precautions in the factory. One reporter that was an eyewitness to the fire said, “I remembered their great strike of last year, in which these girls demanded more sanitary workrooms, and more safety precautions in the shops. These dead bodies told the results.” 1 The workers wanted safer conditions the year before, so much so that they went on strike. Nothing changed through this strike and the worst thing happened, the unsafe conditions killed 146

Finally this tragedy brought widespread attention to the dangerous sweatshop conditions of factories and led to the development of a series of laws and regulations that better protected the safety of workers. The owners Blanck and Harris were to blame, since they neglected their workers safety and concerns in order to be the fastest and the best factory around. Due to their negligence the youngest factory worker at the age of 14 lost her life in the fire. Both Harris and Blanck were indicted on seven counts of manslaughter in the first and second degree, but after paying bail and hiring the best lawyer around they were acquitted of all charges. They paid no time for their crimes and walked away with insurance policies leaving the dead behind and the rest of the workers and their families with

On March 25, 1911 in the New York City’s West village 146 people mainly young women immigrants of Italian and Jewish background perished. The women, some just teenagers would work long hours in the factory sewing shirtwaist high necked cottons blouses which were the fashion staple of the time for young women. The owners of the Triangle Shirt waist factory would lock the doors while the women worked, said to prevent “theft” and the visit of union reps to the location. What lead to the fire was the unsanitary factory floor. This was the exact reason to why before the actual fire, 400 of the factories employees went on strike. During this strike the women fought for better wages and safer working conditions. Unfortunately they only won some of their concessions on pay, but little was actually done by the factories owner who continued to keep the workplace in shambles. As well as the doors still locked.

The article Fire in the Factory states, “This resulted in noisy, packed, dimly lit factories with very little ventilation and very long work days required to churn out products.” This is why immigrant workers called the factory “Prison.” They barely complained though and still worked to have a job and make money. Blank and Harris only used them because they underpaid the immigrants with prices regular citizens would not agree with.

The fire, the largest in recent years, killed more than 100 garment workers. This tragedy although rare in size is by no means uncommon to factory workers in Asia. This is because just as in previous generations major businesses demand the largest possible profit margin

To fight Chavez and NFWA they started to employ fear tactics against the workers and strikers. One of things they did was to hire thugs to assault the strikers, so they would fear to form another strike again. They hired people to insult them as they were protesting, and even tried to use spies to break the NFWA up. But even with all the attacks on them the NCWA continued with the strikes. Why did so many endure all this punishment for something that had little chance achieving?

The collapsing of the Rana Plaza building in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, is a tragic incident that occurred on April 24, 2013 (Prashad 2013). The Rana Plaza building was the establishment that had workers who were the commodity of the production of garments that are sold to the Western market. A couple days post-collapse, it was reported that the death toll was well into the triple-digits.
