Talk:New York shirtwaist strike of 1909

successful?
The ending of this is awfully abrupt and rosy as well as innaccurate.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire followed this strike, remember. The settlement that ended the strike in no way satisfied all of the workers' demanmds, and did nothing for safety conditions. It led to one of the most infamous labor tragedies in American history. 50.189.38.64 (talk) 01:58, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello! I have added some more details to the page that addresses that not all demands were met, and I also mention the shirtwaist fire in the "legacy" section. Treetopz (talk) 16:39, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

But it also was the first major women's strike Froginatophat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:21, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

plagiarism?
This paragraph in the "background" section sounds like it relies heavily on writing/text from elsewhere. Since the link at the end of the paragraph no longer works, I can't confirm that.


 * "The population of New York City was more than half immigrant in the early 1900s and many of the shirtwaist workers were immigrants. These immigrants came from a wide variety of backgrounds (such as Jews and Italian), and crowded into immigrant neighborhoods like the Lower East Side of Manhattan Island, which at the time had one of the highest population densities in the world. Many of these immigrants, men, women, and children alike, worked for low pay in factories with terrible working conditions to help support themselves and their families. But they were also exposed to a bustling new world, and to the political and union organizers therein. Immigrant women especially often came from conservative social backgrounds which limited their interaction with men and people outside the family. But New York in the early 1900s provided the opportunity for these women to explore such social interactions, and exhibit a new level of independence." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.50.68.27 (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Legacy
Additional explanation and citations would enhance this section. Is the word "successful" accurate if the deadly Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire occurred in 1911 under similar conditions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bankstonad (talk • contribs) 23:03, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
