Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell): My Decade Fighting for the Labor Movement is a memoir and organizing manual by labor strategist Jane McAlevey. It draws on roughly a decade of work in unions, health care, education, and allied social movements to show how workplace power is actually built, and why many campaigns fail when they rely on symbolism, top-down leadership, or limited participation. The book is both personal and political: McAlevey uses her own organizing experiences to argue that labor struggles are inseparable from questions of race, gender, immigration, democracy, and community power. Rather than presenting labor history as a finished story, she frames it as a set of practical lessons for people who want to organize workers more effectively. The result is a candid, often blunt account of labor movement strengths and weaknesses, aimed at readers who want strategy rather than sentiment.
