The power of the union comes from the participation of the membership, and the time has arrived for us to unite, protect our quality of life and take back the work stolen by non‐union contractors. Hotel Owners, Developers, and the Public need to recognize that we will FIGHT to keep our work from going to contractors who do not respect local people.

Kahala Hotel recently awarded irresponsible contractors a 300‐hundred room renovation. What did we do about it? On Saturday, May 9, 2009, over 60 of our painters, tapers, glaziers and floorlayers representing District Council 50 peacefully protested the use of non‐union contractors at the Kahala Hotel.

Your Organizing Committee has targeted HOTELS as a key market that should only be awarded to union contractors and members, especially in these tough economic times.
