2,000 Workers Strike at World's Largest Hilton in Honolulu

Unionized hotel workers demand higher wages, manageable workloads, and the reversal of COVID-19 related service cuts.

The strike at Hawaiian Village, the world's largest Hilton, began early Tuesday with around 2,000 workers participating.
Workers are calling for better wages, manageable workloads, and the restoration of daily room cleaning services cut during the pandemic.
The strike is part of a broader labor movement affecting over 4,000 hotel workers across Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott properties in Honolulu, San Diego, and San Francisco.
Union representatives have warned of potential service disruptions, including reduced pool hours, closed bars, and piled-up trash and linens.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green and Attorney General Anne Lopez have called for federal mediation to resolve related labor disputes, including an ongoing nurses' strike at a local hospital.
