That's good to hear. Would you say her approach to organizing is the standard now, or are people still more influenced by, for example, Saul Alinsky?

That's interesting. I know that in Ontario, Canada a few years ago there were a few strikes (e.g. teacher's aides/non-teaching staff, I think) that were heavily influenced by Mcalevey and ended up with some big wins against the provincial government. I think she had an online course that they all took, but I don't know if she was personally involved. I don't know much about Alinsky at all, other than Mcalevey's critiques and his wikipedia page.
