Maintenance worker wins backpay

VICTORY: Gavin, an on-call maintenance worker at Queen Kapiolani, lost a day’s pay because his manager failed to notify him when he was scheduled to work. We filed a grievance and the company quickly paid him back.
“Very rewarding to win. It was an eye opener when I realized I was going to lose 8 hours pay. Winning the grievance and getting the backpay was a big help for my family.” #UnionAdvantage
