Can anyone recommend a book / documentary about the labor movement?

https://twitter.com/berniesanders/status/1434887360412409862 i was thinking of bernie's tweet in particular where he thanked the labor movement for weekends, 8 hour workdays, paid overtime, min wage, breaks during work, right to strike, safety standards, and child labor laws. i'd like to go more in detail about these. How did these start? Which companies were the first to grant it? how did they get the government to pass it? etc.
