Dozens of politicians attended the Labor Unity Picnic on Oahu (see page 8 for more coverage) on September 4, 2022. By attending events like these, they are trying to prove that working families are a priority to them. ILWU Local 142's tents were a very popular stop among many politicians making their rounds this year at the Waikiki Shell. Pictured above is Oahu Di- vision Director Michael Yamaguchi, endorsed candidate for governor Josh Green, Local President Chris West, and endorsed candidate for Honolulu City Council District 4 Tommy Waters.
The next Local 142 Executive Board (LEB) meeting will be at 9:00 a.m. on December 16, 2022 at the Honolulu ILWU Hall at 451 Atkinson Drive. ILWU members are welcome to attend as observers. Lanai's Labor Day Celebration at the Lanai ILWU Hall on September 3, 2022 was also very well-attended by politicians. The Maui County races are competitive, but our endorsed candidates can count on labor's votes because they have proven that they listen to and try to address the needs and concerns of ILWU members.
