Hawaii Foodbank, State of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, and Public Sector Unions launch 27th Annual State Employees’ Food & Fund Drive.

With United Public Workers encompassing over 12,000 members throughout the state of Hawaii, we want to introduce your fellow UPW brothers and sisters and share how they support our local communities.

Despite Governor David Ige’s suspension of HRS 89 during the pandemic, our collective bargaining rights have been upheld, acknowledging the dangers faced by our workers and reinforcing the validity of our contract.
