Lyle Dotzert, rank-and-file union leader passes.

I just got news that my good friend Lyle Dotzert passed away peacefully at home after a lifetime of committed working class struggle yesterday in Windsor, Ontario.

Lyle's service will be tomorrow from 5:30-9pm at Walter D. Kelly Funeral Home in Windsor, Ontario. The union was his church. So a few of his union brothers will say a few words at 7:30 tomorrow evening.


Solidarity sung by Pete Seeger was what Lyle's life was all about:

And this song by Nina Simone expresses everything Lyle Dotzert stood for:

Our family appreciated Lyle's support and solidarity when we really needed it when we were facing deportation from Canada after being targeted by right wing bigots including Stephen Harper.

Lyle Dotzert, a true working class hero.
