Worker unity and community support really ramped up on Day 6 of our #MarriottStrike.
Two public sector unions, the United Public Workers and the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly, wrote public statements supporting our strike.
The Hawaii Democratic Party joined our Sheraton Princess Kaiulani picket line and donated water.
Many tourists joined our picket lines, even helping us with chanting. Community supporters donated water, food, and even roses and lei to our picket lines.
Our Relay for One Job is a huge hit. For 11 days, strikers and community supporters will walk around the island of Oahu carrying our One Job Should Be Enough flag and taking our message into the community. If you want to join our relay, contact Local 5.
