The correct option is: State and federal governments began to take measures to protect the safety of workers. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire (New York City, 1911) was one of the deadliest in U.S. history with 146 garment workers deaths. Because the access to the stairwells and exits were locked several of the workers who could not flee from the burning building jumped from the high windows. This fire led to legislation demanding better factory safety standards and helped push the growth of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU), which protested for safer working conditions for sweatshop workers.
