Hilton Hawaiian Hotel workers end 40-day strike
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Over 1,800 Hilton Hawaiian Hotel workers are expected to return to work tomorrow at 4 a.m. after they voted to end their strike on Nov. 4.
Workers at the hotel voted to ratify their new contract on ending a 40-day strike that began on Sept. 24.
The union says more than 3,200 Local 5 members at seven other hotels are still working without a contract and could strike at any time.
“Hawaiian Village have led all of us to an important & historic victory that puts hospitality workers and this community one step closer to making ‘one job enough’ a reality,” said Cade Watanabe, Financial Secretary-Treasurer.
“But our campaign continues until we have achieved settlements with Hyatt, Kyo-ya & Marriott – where more than 3,200 hotel workers have also authorized additional strikes if necessary.”
