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!

Hi! I love this list, I've actually been wanting to learn more about this subject, so this helps me a lot! I was just wanted to doublecheck though and see if these were all nonfiction or if there were some fiction mixed in?
These are all non-fiction. I’ll clarify that in the description! I admit I haven’t read these - but recently started two of them, but wanted to explore more myself. (I am a union member).
Oo, good! I'll try to fit them into my reading schedule sometime soon! And we all do that👋🏻. I add books to my lists that I haven't read either👀
black coal and red bandanas by raymond tyler would be a great addition!
i love this list :)
