In these next three years, over 7,600 of our ILWU brothers and sisters, who work in hotels and golf courses, will be negotiating new labor contracts. This restaurant guide exists because:
• No matter what industry we work, we all welcome people to our island home. Tourists, strangers, friends and even family have asked us where they should eat. Pointing them to one of these restaurants supports your fellow members and rewards the hotels that negotiate through collective bargaining.
• Some restaurants extend their welcome to kamaaina through great deals on meals and drinks. This guide shares with you where you can meet with friends for a budgetfriendly happy hour, a nice breakfast brunch with the family or a quick sandwich on your way home—served by your brothers and sisters.
• Clip out the Tip Cards for both workers and managers in these restaurants. Let them know you are patronizing the restaurant because you support your fellow ILWU workers. Let them know that you eat in solidarity!
