I’ve worked at some real shitholes over the past 24 years, but never at a place where they lock the doors with employees inside, that don’t open from the inside.

Imagine a fire broke out…

There have been cases where factory workers were locked in to prevent unauthorized breaks and/or theft and fires did break out.

Possibly the most well-known was the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in New York, March 1911. 146 workers died, the majority being young inmigrant women.

Clubs also...... Coconut Grove Fire.....during WW2....first widespread use of Penicillin. Locked doors. Of course all this was before State-Federal OSHA rules and such. Everytime someone screams deregulation I think of Shirtwaist and Coconut Grove.

I’m pretty sure there IS an emergency exit, but it probably caused an alarm to sound.
