This fall, pro-union sentiment in the US rose to 68 percent—the highest it’s been since 1965. We’re living through a major moment for labor organizing, and we have so many questions! How did we get here? Who got us here? And what’s at stake for workers across the country today? Kim Kelly joins Jonathan to discuss the power of collective bargaining, worker solidarity, and her new book FIGHT LIKE HELL, an intersectional history of labor movements in the US.Kim Kelly is an independent journalist, author of FIGHT LIKE HELL: The Untold History of American Labor. She has been a regular labor columnist for Teen Vogue since 2018, and her writing on labor, class, politics, and culture has appeared in The New Republic, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Baffler, The Nation, and many others. Previously, she was the heavy metal editor at “Noisey,” VICE’s music vertical, and was an original member of the VICE Union. A third-generation union member, she was born in the heart of the South Jersey Pine Barrens, and currently lives in Philadelphia with a hard-workin’ man, a couple of taxidermied bears, and way too many books.Want to learn even more about the US labor movement? Follow Kim on <a href="https://twitter.com/GrimKim">Twitter</a> @grimkim and on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/kimkellywriter">Instagram</a> @kimkellywriter. Pick up a copy of <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Fight-Like-Hell/Kim-Kelly/9781982171056">FIGHT LIKE HELL</a>, out now!And check out Kim’s <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/66017803">FIGHT LIKE HELL reading list</a>, which you can access for free on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/kimkelly">her Patreon</a>.Join the conversation, and find out what former guests are up to, by following us on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/curiouswithjvn/?hl=en"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/curiouswithjvn?lang=en"> Twitter</a> @CuriousWithJVN.  Jonathan is on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jvn/"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/jvn"> Twitter</a> @JVN and @Jonathan.Vanness on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.vanness/"> Facebook</a>. Transcripts for each episode are available at<a href="https://www.jonathanvanness.com/gettingcurious"> JonathanVanNess.com</a>. Love listening to Getting Curious?
