Local 5 workers picket Waikiki hotels

UNITE HERE Local 5 union workers picketed in front of major Waikiki hotels Tuesday demanding new contracts that provide “living wages, fair workloads, and proper staffing that ensures quality service.” The pickets took place at the Sheraton Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, and the Hilton Hawaiian Village, where more than 100 red-shirted workers walked through the lobby, some yelling into megaphones and pumping their fists.
