81 banquet workers win back tip money

2014-07-10 21.26.3981 Banquet workers at the Sheraton Waikiki won back their tip money! Due to Sheraton Waikiki management’s negligence on over-charging guests, many banquet workers’ tips were illegally expunged to compensate for the employer’s mistake. According to our CBA, we won the hard-earned tip money back to our workers.

Pictured here are banquet workers Perfecto, Cathy, Diane, Linda, and Virgilio. Congratulations!
