Hyatt Regency Waikiki on Strike – Day 5 – September 12, 2011

Hundreds of Local 5 members and community supporters were among the many onlookers as eight of our State’s key elected leaders joined striking Hyatt workers on the picket line Monday. Strikers, community leaders and visitors alike were all treated to a “bed-making relay race” competition on the sidewalk fronting the Hyatt. Today’s “bed-making race” was organized to highlight the nature of housekeeping work in the hotel industry. A special thanks to Ms. Amy Agbayani of the Alliance for Quality of Life for helping to organize today’s event, and to Sen. Clayton Hee, Vice-Speaker Joey Manahan, Rep. Karl Rhoads, Rep. Ty Cullen, Rep. Della Au Belatti, Rep. Jessica Wooley, Rep. Henry Aquino and Rep. Tom Brower for participating in today’s “bed-making relay race.”
