1. Based upon what I have read, labor unions is a good idea because is not right to exploit a worker even will he is already in a unsafe place.

2. The Triangle Shirtwaist was a sweatshop in which 146 seamstresses died because a fire broke out and spread to the oil-soaked machine and piles of clothes. These deaths could have been prevented if the company wouldn't locked all the doors only to prevent theft and wouldn't got trap by the only door that was open but it was blocked by fire.

3. Monopolists did not want unions because they would need to pay more to there workers. There for they hire scabs. Union members did not like scabs because they took there jobs for less money and the same time as they had so the strike didnt work all the times.

4.
