In May, Governor Ige’s administration proposed up to 20% pay cuts for UPW workers by implementing pay cuts or furloughs. But he backed off his plan because legislative leaders such as House Speaker Scott Saiki, Finance Chair Sylvia Luke, Ways & Means Chair Donovan Dela Cruz, and Senate President Ron Kouchi supported labor’s position that cuts weren’t necessary. UPW workers keep Hawaii going!
We must continue to support labor-friendly legislators by voting for them and keeping them in office. You can find the full list of UPW endorsed candidates below.
