Check out the latest episode of the United 808 Podcast! The United Public Workers will commemorate 80 years of dedicated work in 2024. State Director Kalani Werner recently talked with podcast host Flash about UPW’s history and the ongoing struggle for labor rights in Hawaii. A special edition of the Malama Pono will be published this summer to mark this significant milestone. United Public Workers originated with road workers in Hilo who fought for labor rights. Now, 80 years later, we are championing Temporary Hazard Pay, a benefit guaranteed in our contracts before the COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency in Hawaii. For our Kauai County workers, Kalani provides an essential update on new medical benefits negotiated with the Employer to provide full coverage for working families. Our unity is our strength and is more important than ever in safeguarding our families today. Don’t miss this episode. Tune in now!
