United Catering workers at HNL met with Congressman Ed Case

VICTORY: Workers at United kitchen in Honolulu Airport met with Congressman Ed Case asking him to support our members by signing onto a letter urging United to not subcontract catering workers. United worker Ino Otto shared her story of being at risk of losing her job in the middle of a pandemic and expressed her anger at the company for doing this to the low-wage, largely immigrant workforce at the United Airlines catering kitchens across the country. Because of this, Rep. Ed Case signed the letter alongside Sen. Mazie Hirono, Sen. Brian Schatz, and Rep. Kai Kahele.#UnionAdvantage
