The ILWU Local 142 offers its full support and solidarity to the 1,800 Local 5 workers who began an indefinite strike against the Hilton Hawaiian Village this morning at 5 a.m. 

The Hilton Hawaiian Village is the most profitable Hilton hotel on earth and it is the workers of the resort that make it so. These workers, as with all workers, deserve a contract that reflects respect for the workers who make the hotel run and shine for guests. 

Over 400 ILWU Local 142 members and guests gathered in Honolulu at the Hawai'i Convention Center to participate in the 30th Statewide Convention. For five days, elected union delegates from across all islands and industries made important decisions to help steer the union forward over the next three years.
