Triangle Ensemble Statement
We, theater-makers and audience, meet as collaborators and global citizens to bring awareness to the plight of garment workers over a century ago and its parallels to today. The Triangle Factory of 1911 inspired the passage of labor and safety legislation that laid the foundation for the benefits we’ve come to expect: mandated fire drills, maximum occupancy, fire sprinklers/extinguishers in our workplaces, a forty-hour work week, and strong unions.
Though conditions have improved for most garment workers in the U.S., the working conditions for garment workers globally echo those of the Triangle Factory: unsafe working conditions and the exploitation of the vulnerable.
We believe that the people making our clothes have the right to earn a living wage, to work in a safe environment, and to be treated with dignity.
