Labor Movement 101 (U.S. Focus)
[in progress] This list is a crash-course for those who care about social justice but don’t know much about unions. A mix of labor history, (light) academic stuff, and first person accounts of organizing (& how to do it yourself!). Majority is U.S.-focused since that’s my background but I will grow it to encompass other contexts as well, or at least have enough other accounts for readers to situate the U.S. on its own terms.

A History of the U.S. Labor Movement & Unions
For those who like the weekend, fair wages, the 40 hour work week (already seems unattainable!), and don't believe in child labor - a history of the fight. Seems like we are still having to work at it, since there are some that want to take these rights away. This is a non-fiction list - and I am open to recommendations!
