More than 350 unionized hotel workers at the Turtle Bay Resort will vote Thursday (Sept. 13) to authorize Local 5 to potentially strike.

Press release from the union:

Unionized hotel workers at Turtle Bay are standing up to secure good, decent jobs for the community, and have been working without a new contract for more than two years now. The Resort’s owner continues to move forward with its expansion plans. …

Today’s vote results would allow the Union’s negotiating committee to potentially call for a strike.

For many years, workers at the Turtle Bay Resort have worked under a much lower standard than workers in Waikiki. …
