Book
Fight to win : heroes of American labor the young readers edition of Fight Like Hell/ Kim Kelly.
"Freed Black women organizing for protection in the Reconstruction-era South. Jewish immigrant garment workers braving deadly conditions for a sliver of independence. Asian American fieldworkers rejecting government-sanctioned indentured servitude across the Pacific. Incarcerated workers advocating for basic human rights and fair wages. The queer Black labor leader who helped orchestrate America's civil rights movement. These are only some of the working-class heroes who propelled American labor's relentless push for fairness and equal protection under the law. In this well-researched work of journalism, Teen Vogue columnist and independent labor reporter Kim Kelly excavates our history and shows how the rights the American worker has today-the forty-hour workweek, workplace-safety standards, restrictions on child labor, protection from harassment and discrimination on the job-were earned with literal blood, sweat, and tears. Inspirational, intersectional, and full of crucial lessons from the past, Fight to Win shows what is possible when the working class demands the dignity it has always deserved"-- Provided by publisher.
