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. The names and faces of countless silenced, misrepresented, or forgotten leaders have been erased by time as a privileged few decide which stories get cut from the final copy: those of women, people of color, LGBTQIA people, disabled people, sex workers, prisoners, and the poor. In this definitive and assiduously researched work of journalism, Teen Vogue columnists and independent labor reporter Kim Kelly excavates that untold 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 Provided by publisher. 12671 Movimientos obreros Historia Estados Unidos 5632 Sindicatos Estados Unidos 10536 Minorías Actividad política 0 ibc orignew 2 epcn 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK 0 0 lcc 0 0 CS BJB BJB CS 2022-08-23 0 HD 8066 K29f 2022 00000157456 2022-08-23 00:00:00 1 2022-08-23 BK
