Approximately 260 workers at The Modern Honolulu have voted unanimously to authorize a potential strike at the luxury hotel. As members of the Unite Here Local 5 union, the workers feel that the hotel management is treating them unfairly and not providing them high enough wages and proper health coverage. An actual strike date had not been set, as the Modern Honolulu management and Local 5 are still in negotiations foe the hotel’s first collective bargaining agreement.
Managing Director of The Modern Honolulu, Gerald Glennon, stated, ”If a few employees choose to lose work opportunities and wages to go on strike, we have a contingency plan to ensure that we are fully operational and able to provide guests with the quality of service they have come to expect from The Modern. Despite any potential workplace disruptions, we are committed to negotiating a fair and equitable contract that will provide opportunities for our team members to succeed, while maintaining the highest level of service and luxury experience for our guests.”
