HAWAII STATE
AFL-CIO

Mahalo Hawaii AFL-CIO for your endorsement in this election year! All working people deserve good jobs and the power to determine their wages and working conditions.

Throughout our history, the labor movement has accomplished a lot. If you get weekends off or overtime pay, thank the union members who fought for those rights. None of our movement’s achievements would have happened without the effort, organization and advocacy of our brothers and sisters. But injustice still runs amok. We must look to the past not only for inspiration, but for the tools we need to continue the fight. The roots of the problems we face today can be found in our past. So can the beginnings of the solutions we need for our future.
