Hawai'i Hotel Workers Appeal for Solidarity

From LabourStart.org

We've been asked by a union representing hotel workers in Hawaii to help bring a successful end to a six year long struggle for union recognition.

Pacific Beach Hotel workers have had enough of management lies, threats, intimidation and bribes. Their campaign has won the full support of unions in both the United States and Japan, as well as global union federations (the ITF and IUF). Now that we have an online campaign to put pressure on management, it's very important that all of us take a moment to send off a short message of protest:

Our experience shows that hotels are particularly vulnerable to this kind of online campaign -- which why it's so important that we make a big push to get thousands of supporters.
