This revelatory and inclusive book “unearths the stories of the
people—farm laborers, domestic workers, factory
employees—behind some of the labor movement’s biggest
successes” (The New York Times) from independent journalist and
Teen Vogue labor columnist 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
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 “thought-provoking
must-read” (Liz Shuler, AFL-CIO president), Teen Vogue columnist
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. Fight Like Hell comes at a time of economic reckoning in
America. From Amazon’s warehouses to Starbucks cafes, Appalachian
coal mines to the sex workers of Portland’s Stripper Strike,
interest in organized labor is at a fever pitch not seen since the
early 1960s. Inspirational, intersectional, and full of crucial
lessons from the past, Fight Like Hell is “essential reading for
anyone who believes that workers should control their fate”
(Shane Burley, author of Why We Fight).
