New industrial groupings, Lahaina focus of convention business

The 30th Convention updated the Consitution to more accurately reflect the union’s industrial groupings. Resolutions focused on Lahaina fires and honored the union’s longtime accountant, Lowell Nagaue. A summary of constitutional amendments and resolutions are provided below.

tives” throughout the Constitution
