STRIKE ALERT IN WAIKIKI 🚨 Hotel workers walked off the job at 5 a.m. and began an open-ended strike at Hawai‘i’s largest hotel and world’s largest Hilton resort, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort.

The strike impacts over 1,800 hotel workers represented by UNITE HERE Local 5 including housekeepers, front desk agents, restaurant workers, maintenance workers, and more. A total of over 4,000 UNITE HERE hotel workers across the U.S. are now on open-ended strikes at Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott hotels in San Diego, San Francisco, and Honolulu.

This follows a historic Labor Day strike when over 10,000 hotel workers across the U.S. went on strike, including 5,000 Hawai‘i hotel workers at seven major hotels in Waikiki and one on Kaua‘i. Strikes are possible at any time at the other seven Hawai‘i hotels that have authorized strikes should strike issues remain unresolved.
