Ben Ulmer, a 2012 graduate or Oregon Episcopal School is shown in Liberia with a bicycle-powered
pump that he and other students designed and that he field-tested in Liberia. 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.

Representing more than 5.000 construction workers in Oregon State.
