State Construction workers get language aid AP, Statesman Journal, Salem, Oregon
At the NECA-IBEW training center in Portland, executive director Ken Fry and others coordinate a minority-outreach program that advertises in minority- and female-oriented newspapers and promotes the National Electrical Contractors Association and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, where large numbers of minorities will be present.
