I suppose it is possible that the owner (and not a union thug) threw the burning cigarette into the scrap bin — but it's not very likely
So you obviously believe it was a Union member who started the fire! Why didn’t you say that when I first asked you?
Fires do happen. But the fact is the owners had locked some of the doors of the building, escaped with their own lives, and left the girls on the 9th floor to suffer the awful consequences. People can be evil on both sides of this issue. In this case, it was management, not the union. Why is that so difficult for some people to understand?
