This is the best summary I could come up with:

Jane F. McAlevey, a fierce labor organizer and scholar who trained tens of thousands of workers across the globe in strategies for taking charge of and shaping their unions, died on Sunday at her cabin in Muir Beach, Calif. She was 59.

In her writings, including for The Nation, as what the magazine described as its “strikes correspondent,” and in frequent media interviews and podcasts, Ms. McAlevey became a vocal critic of what she saw as the complacency, ineptitude and corporate collusion of many U.S. labor leaders.

and the Service Employees International Union from 1997 to 2008, Ms. McAlevey transitioned to consulting, coaching labor groups across the country on how to energize the rank and file, attract new members and fight off employers’ aggressive anti-union tactics.

In April 1985, when the board of trustees was resisting divesting from companies doing business in South Africa, Ms. McAlevey hid a chain and padlocks under her dress and helped hundreds of students occupy a SUNY building.

to lead an innovative multi-union campaign organizing nursing home workers, taxi drivers, janitors and city clerks in Stamford, Conn., a corporate hub with few union members at the time.

In April, with her cancer “attacking with a ferocity that has taken away the breath even of my medical team,” as she put it, Ms. McAlevey posted an open letter to family, friends, colleagues and newsletter subscribers — titling it “I Have Loved Being in This World With You,” — reporting that she had entered hospice care at home.
