Students from Oregon Episcopal School will exhibit a pump they designed for arid environments from Dec. 5-8 at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. Students on the OES InvenTeam designed the pump to increase efficiency of raising water from wells where electricity is not available. They used materials commonly available throughout the world, such as a bicycle, so the pump can be constructed and repaired by those using it. We honor the many accomplishments of African Americans. It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the lives of all people working in the building trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and the long-held belief that work- ers deserve a "family wage" - fair pay for an honest day's work. A family wage, and the benefits that go with it, not only strength- ens families, but also allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive, and more responsive to their citizens' needs. Our family wage agenda reflects our commitment to people working in the building trades, and to workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear regard- less of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs.
