Cliff Smith, Business Manager of Roofers Local 36, has something to say.

The video below was done by Steve Zeltzer and laborvideo and posted on their Youtube channel either yesterday or today (see here also). The main subject of this interview is the analysis of current events by Cliff Smith, the Business Manager of Roofers Local 36 in Los Angeles. It is a short and interestig video. Local 36 has an active Facebook page and is active on other social media. I believe that the local is the only U.S. affiliate of the World Federation of Trade Unions.

The blurb that accompanies this video says the following:

Join Local 36, labor leaders, academics and community organizers in a Working Conference for Labor & Community analysis and strategy for the impending election. 9am - 5pm Saturday, Sept. 7 lunch provided At: Workers United Western States Regional Joint Board 920 S Alvarado St, Los Angeles contact Cliff Smith 213.663.6316

I believe that Brother Smith makes many valid points in this video and that many readers will be surprised to find how much they agree with him on many points. That is not to say that I agree with everything said here or with all of Brother Smith's or Steve Zeltzer's key and leading points. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the September 7 conference.
