Waiting for Lefty – a play reading

May 8, 2022 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm CDT

UFCW Local 832 is proud to sponsor this play-reading virtual event with commentary and discussion and hosted by the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada.

First produced in 1935, Lefty is the story of a meeting of a New York cab driver’s union on the verge of a strike. The union’s corrupt leader tries to discourage it, and the mysterious absence of left-leaning advocate, Lefty, doesn’t bode well for the would-be strikers.
