Union Made: Labor Leader Samuel Gompers and His Fight for Workers' Rights

This is the story of Samuel Gompers, a comprehensive biography of an activist that spent his life advocating for workers rights. This biography was made for a middle school audience, with a suggested reader age of 10 to 17 from the publishers. After going up in England, him and his father having been cigar rollers, immigrated to the US. Soon after this, Gompers would start to dedicate her life to labor activism and would become a founding father of the American Federation of Labor. Between anti-union violence, government opposition, and union busting liars, Gompers held true to his values and advocated for better wages, safe conditions, and basic rights for all workers.
