Toyoko Inn to Sell ‘Local GENKI Badges’ from April 1
The labor union UNITE HERE Local 5, which represents hotel workers in Hawaii, has ended its strike at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort.
After a 40-day strike that began on September 24, over 1,800 workers including front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, and maintenance staff returned to work at 4 a.m. on November 5, following a vote that approved a new contract.
In addition to this, union members at seven other hotels in Waikiki and on Kauai Island are currently working without contracts, raising the possibility of further strikes.
