Hawaii Tribune-Herald Employees Demand

³A Fair Contract Now²

 

***

 

Picketing set Wednesday, Aug. 23

 

 

Hawaii Tribune-Herald workers and their supporters on the Big Island will be picketing at the Tribune-Herald office three times during the day on Aug. 23 in support of a fair new contract for union workers at the Big Islandıs largest daily newspaper.

 

The last time these workers received a raise was January 2002, a 1 percent increase. Since then this profitable newspaper only has offered proposals to employees that would lower pay, reduce benefits, and take away union jobs.

 

Itıs time to demand a fair contract for employees at the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. Join them and their fellow union members, friends and supporters, on the picket line this Wednesday to help raise a strong voice in support of a fair contract.
