ROOFERS PROTEST TRUMP
Cliff Smith (C), Bus. Mgr. of Local 36 of the
United Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied
Workers, a WFTU affiliate, is flanked by the
Roofers International Union’s First
International Vice-President Douglas
Ziegler (L) and International Representative
Gabriel Perea (R).
" I passed out leaflets until [Sean] Mc
Garvey's chief of staff threatened to throw
me out of the conference before it started"
Smith said. The Roofers union officials
protested that Sean McGarvey, President of
the class collaborationist North American
Building Trades Council, invited U.S.
President Donald Trump to speak to their
union Conference. The Roofers took a class
oriented trade union protest to Trump, who
supports the repeal of the Davis Bacon
Prevailing Wage law, and a proposal for a
national Right-to-Work (for a lot less)
national labor law. He addressed the
Building Trades to court rank and
file support for his anti-worker PrivatePublic Infrastructure plan. McGarvey and
the American Building Trades unions
officials support Trump’s sellout over the best interests of their membership.
Construction workers ask: “How do they sleep at night?"
