Longshore

We have Longshore workers on every island in our union. Our Longshore brothers and sisters. work at companies such as: Young Brothers, Matson, McCabe, Ham- ilton & Renny, Hawaii Steve- dores, Inc. Everything you have in your home, office, and car has at some point gone through a longshore- man/longshorewoman's hands as they facilitate the unloading and distribution of tons of cargo every day. Please see pages 3 and 8 for more information on your brothers and sisters in this robust industry.

Tourism

Tourism industry workers make up about half of the approxi- mately 16,000 ILWU members in Hawaii. Most of our tourism members are concentrated on Maui and the Big Island, but we have members in this industry statewide. Please see our Instagram @ilwu- local142hawaii or Facebook page "ILWU Local 142 Hawaii" to see a full listing of the hotels on each island and support our tourism workers!

Pineapple

Before tourism, the state's main economic driver was agriculture, namely sugar and pineapple. The last sugar plantation (HC&S on Maui) closed in 2016 and the only remaining pineapple plantations are on Oahu (Dole) and Maui (Hali'imaile Pineapple). This union has strong roots in the working class that labored and organized in both these plantations. Stay tuned for future issues that covers this important history.
