Question

question 17 of 22
which of the following events caused an increase in public support of the
international ladies garment workers union?

a. homestead strike

b. pullman strike

c. triangle shirtwaist factory fire

d. haymarket affair

Explanation:

The Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire (1911) exposed unsafe working conditions for garment workers, many of whom were women represented by the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU). Public outrage over the tragedy led to increased support for the union's efforts to advocate for workplace safety reforms. The other events (Homestead Strike, Pullman Strike, Haymarket Affair) involved different industries or unions, not the ILGWU or garment workers directly.

Answer:

C. Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire
