ILWU-endorsed candidates did very well in Hawaii’s General Election on November 4, 2014, winning a strong majority of all races run statewide—including the closely watched gubernatorial and congressional contests.
“I think the ILWU’s Political Action (PAC) program was effective in mobilizing our members and delivering votes to endorsed candidates,” said Oahu Division PAC Coordinator and Business Agent Wilfred Chang.
Some of the 1,600 ML&P pensioners who no longer have to worry about receiving full pension benefits, with elected officials, ILWU members and leaders, and (seated) acting Governor Tsutsui, who displays the “Lipoa Point Day” proclamation signed on October 9, 2014.
Patronizing companies in collective bargaining with ILWU Local 142 supports our local economy and your brothers and sisters. This is vital to strengthening our economy and community. Without a healthy economy, our communities suffer because of the slowdown in economic activity which may lead to decreased household incomes or the loss of jobs. Therefore, please patronize these hotels that negotiate fair contracts providing a high standard of living, health and retirement benefits for your brothers and sisters.
