Karl Lindo
I have served the ILWU as a Unit Chair and Vice Chair for Hawaiian Waikiki Beach Hotel from 1989 to 1995. From 1992 to 1995, I also worked as a Local Organizer and Field Representative and helped organize new members into the ILWU.
In one of the first resolutions passed at the 2003 ILWU Interna tional Convention entitled “Take Our Country Back,” the delegates asserted that George W. Bush was never elected president by the American people, but rather was given the presidency by the U.S.
This year’s main Labor Day event featured a march through Waikiki on September 1 instead of the usual concert at the Waikiki Shell. The march, sponsored by the Hawaii State Federation of Labor, brought 16 labor organizations and 11 com-
munity and political groups together to support the rights of immigrant workers. About 40 ILWU members and retirees participated in the march.
The march also featured the Waipahu and Pearl City High School marching bands, taiko drummers, and Korean dancers.
