A “Union Heritage” seminar will be held Saturday, April 25, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Plumbers and Fitters Local 290, 20210 SW Teton Ave., Tualatin. The event is free and open to all union mem- bers, families, and nonunion friends and neighbors. A continen- tal breakfast, and lunch will be served. Dennis Coplin, director of po- litical and legislative affairs for Local 290, will conduct the semi- nar. “There’s a famous quote that says ‘those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ Unfortunately, that is exactly what workers in America are do- ing — repeating the past,” he said. Coplin will illustrate how the Davis Bacon Act and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) helped create a strong middle class in the United States, and how the Taft Hartley Act was designed to harm unionized workers. He also will discuss current legislation de- signed to destroy unions and the middle class. “The only way we can hope to combat this attack on the Ameri- can worker is to educate everyone regarding what has happened, who is behind the attack on work- ers, and why,” he said. Coplin hopes apprenticeship classes, union organizers, and newly organized workers will take advantage of the free seminar. For more information, or to register, email Coplin at coplin@ua290.org.
