LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- They stood in support of the workers and called on DoubleTree's management to give them a fair process to decide whether to unionize, with no retaliation against the workers.
- Local 5 represents over around 1,800 workers at the Hilton Hawaiian Village – the largest hotel in Hawaii and the largest Hilton hotel in the world – as well as nearly 200 workers at Hawaii Care &.
- It's important to me that there be a fair process for these workers to decide whether to unionize, that there not be any retaliation against the workers.
