Do not patronize the Pacific Beach Hotel

Support our brothers and sisters of the Pacific Beach Hotel in their long struggle to organize under the ILWU and negotiate a first contract. On Dec. 1, 2007, HTH Corp. fired 32 workers, many of the top union supporters, and refused to recognize the union. NLRB hearings on the charges against the company concluded in March 2009. The administrative law judge who presided over the hearings should be issuing a decision soon. Check out their boycott site website.

From hotels to auto dealers, hospitals to memorial parks, ILWU members are working hard in our communities everyday.

Do you read the Honolulu Advertiser or Honolulu Star Bulletin? ILWU members work there as inserters, truck drivers, and district managers. Do you shop at Foodland Super Market, Sack ’n Save, or at Star Market on Maui? Then you’ve met an ILWU member who works there as a courtesy clerk, grocery clerk, merchandise clerk or cashier.

If you’ve enjoyed products like Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts, Kauai Coffee, Punaluu Bakery Sweet Bread, Pepsi-Cola, or Maui fresh pineapple—those products were grown or made by ILWU members.

ILWU members also contribute to our communities every day as mothers, fathers, coaches, church and community group leaders, good neighbors and friends.

Our motto is “An injury to One is an Injury to All,” and we work hard to improve the lives of all working families in Hawaii.

About the ILWU

Workers achieve a better life through collective organization in unions

• Labor unions are organizations of working people who join together for mutual benefit and to promote fairness and justice on the job. Labor unions give working people the collective power to improve the living standards of their families and build a more democratic and equitable society.
