ILWU Local 142 for Governor Neil Abercrombie

Local Secretary-Treasurer Guy Fujimura, Local President Donna Domingo, Governor Abercrombie, Longshore Division Director Nate Lum and Oahu Division Director Michael Yamaguchi.

The ILWU Local 142 Political Action Committee voted to support Governor Neil Abercrombie for a second term, based on the Governor’s long-time commitment to the working families of this state.

The ILWU believes that Governor Abercrombie exemplifies the best values of the people of Hawaii, including justice for all and fair laws to protect working people.

Local President Donna Domingo said, “He’s always stood on the side of workers. He also understands the critical role ILWU plays in many of Hawaii’s most important industries including tourism, agriculture, and shipping. Hawaii’s future is in good hands with his leadership.”
