Formation Of A
Minority Business
Association
Nathan Probey has announced the
formation of a Minority Business A sso­
ciation dedicated to obtaining work for
minority subcontractors in theconstruc-
tion industry and assisting general con­
tractors in achieving their minority con­
tracting goals on their projects.
“The em phasis will be on qualified
minority subcontractors. This will in­
clude experience and training as well as
liability insurance and w orkers’ com ­
pensation and anything else the general
contractor requires,” said Mr. Probey.
“In addition, all o f the minority
businesses who belong to our associa­
tion will be signatory to a union labor
agreement. This will alleviate prob­
lems for the general contractor as well
as providing a source of trained quali­
fied employees to the m inority contrac­
tors.”

have retained the services o f Mr. J.D.
Hutchison, President of J D Hutchison
& Associates a m anagement consulting
firm in Lake Oswego. Mr. Hutchison
will provide assistance on drug testing,
workers’ compensation, labor relations,
and EEO,” Mr. Probey said.
