After the results came in, they joined the picket lines at Sheraton, Royal, Moana, and Princess Kaiulani. Their election was part of a national election that brings 2,700 United catering workers into our Union.
One Job Relay Wrap. On Monday, the Relay for One Job finished its last leg by taking over the Kalakaua/Royal Hawaiian Ave. intersection. Hundreds of strikers demonstrated at the intersection showing the commitment and unity between workers at all of the properties.
