Hawaii Unions Host $4,000-a-head Fundraiser For Caldwell Tonight

By /
The venue is Vino Italian Tapas & Wine Bar. The suggested donation is $4,000.

The list of event co-chairs is a who’s who of union leadership including Randy Perreira of HGEA, Dayton Nakanelua of UPW, Tenari Ma’afala of SHOPO, Donna Domingo of ILWU, Bobby Lee of the Hawaii Fire Fighters Association, Damien Kim of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, among others.

Inside Honolulu reports:

Hawaii labor unions expect some serious change from supporters of mayoral candidate Kirk Caldwell. But not in the sense of doing something different. 

A fundraiser is scheduled for this evening with a $4,000 suggested contribution per person.

Not sure how many “working families” will be having tapas and wine at the event that is supposed to benefit them.
