Moana Surfrider clerk wins grievance, sick/vacation accruals, & more

William Tsang, a timekeeper/ receiving clerk at Moana Surfrider, finally received a settlement for his grievance that he filed because management tried to give his job to security. The settlement included all health & welfare/pension contributions for the hours he would’ve worked, as well as sick/vacation accruals.

William said, “I am so happy we all stuck together and helped each other through the layoff. When the hotel reopened, we fought together to get our jobs back. That’s how we win!” #UnionAdvantage
