Our union brother Clyde Smith, who worked at Metro Water Services, died after an extended illness on July 15 in Nashville. Clyde served as the Executive Director of Local 205 before there was an elected president and he also served as the employee representative of the Metro Employee Benefit Board.

Clyde was a knowledgeable and tireless advocate for workers rights and unionism for decades and our sympathies and prayers go out to Clyde's family during this difficult time.
