Legendary Labor Organizer Jane McAlevey: One of Her Last Interviews on Strategies for Workers to Win
by webdev@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#6QDS1)
As part of our Labor Day special, we remember the longtime labor organizer and scholar Jane McAlevey, who died in July at the age of 59. She dedicated her life to empowering rank-and-file workers, training tens of thousands around the world to effectively strengthen their unions. She gave one of her last interviews to Democracy Now! in April after she announced she was entering hospice. We like to win," says McAlevey, and we like to teach workers how to win. What are the methods? What is it we can do?"
