Aloha fellow union brothers and sisters! My name is Steven Lee, currently a Business Agent for the Maui Division. I would be honored to continue representing members of ILWU Local 142 for the next 3 years. I immigrated to the United States from South Korea as a child with my family. We settled in Chicago where I grew up. My wife and I have a son who is a junior at the University of Washington. I began working at the Hyatt Regency Maui as an electrician in 2005. I became a steward in 2007, eventually becoming the Unit Chair. I was elected as Local Executive Board in 2012. I have been serving as a Local Representative and Business Agent for the Maui Division since 2014. We live in a time of tremendous political uncertainty and dissension. Threats to unions and the rights of working men and women are ever present. I am passionate about our union and how it seeks to always protect the rights of workers. I would appreciate your support and vote so I may continue working for members of ILWU Local 142 Maui Division. Mahalo!
