FILE - In this March 25, 1911 file photo, firefighters work to put out the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York's Greenwich Village neighborhood.

The fire killed 146 workers, mainly young immigrant women and girls, and became a touchstone for the organized labor movement, spurred fire-safety laws and shed light on the lives of immigrant workers. (AP Photo/File)AP - It was a warm spring Saturday when dozens of immigrant girls and women leapt to their deaths — some with their clothes on fire, some holding hands — as horrified onlookers watched the Triangle Shirtwaist factory burn.
