Apologies in advance, if you, or your family works for the hotels- and if this is digging up old news, but I heard said workers make $22, $23 / hour? And they complaining about more money ? One job? I don't make that much. Seriously, I get the whole sexual advances by tourists, but we live in the USA where there are laws. I'm in the wrong field. Maybe I should go back work Waikiki and make that much too.
I sure wouldn't monger in Waiks tho. Prob still stupid expensive like it was 25 years ago. I'm being sarcastic. Still though, if that's true, I'm kinda pissed that they make that much. My job is super important, and I save lives every day. I can make a bed and empty rubbish. For a 6. 1% increase over 4 years. FML. For reals.
One job?!
Once they get their raises they still will work multiple jobs and or OT. Also how long will it take them to recoup the 2 months not working while on strike?

[QUOTE=Yamudafuka;4028850]Anyone have any luck? Was thinking about giving it a try. Thinking extras could be had.[/QUOTE]I dated a girl that was Cuddle Companions. She said old dudes would pay her several $$$ just to talk, hold hands and hug. No FS, not even HE, but willing to pay. She was a hottie so I could understand a bit. Great kisser too. We got intimate, she got serious, she hinted a lot about getting married. I ran. Sometimes I regret it as I could've been hitting her every night until we say "I do". After that, maybe once a year. LOL. She was probably the hottest girl I dated. Hmmmm. I still got her number. In fact she wanted to have coffee a month ago. I said I was too busy with work.

Say they made an average of $42 k per year. That is $3500 a month, so $7 k was lost during the strike. They get a raise of $6 over 4 years, so say $1. 50 an hour raise per year. Year one, they make an extra $3 k, year two, they make an extra $6 k. Unfortunately, it is not this easy as the $6 raise is in wages and benefits. So it will take them even longer to make up the wages lost.

However bear in mind that the Union itself benefits financially from each worker and will charge a fee for this new contract taken out from each month as "dues". Then of course State and Federal taxes kick in eroding what gains they have gotten. If the Union had a strike fund, then this compensation during the strike will also be taxed as "income". Yes, you are correct, it'll take quite some time to make up for the wages lost.
And this is why the State's unemployment laws are discrimination against all those unemployed except those of the construction UNIONIZED workers who do not have to look for three potential employees while collecting unemployment benefits including weekly wages. They just need to put down on their application as "UNIONIZED" status. Once their union finds employment, then they go back to work. It's a scam that has not been sued as of yet, so those lawyers out there looking for cases, this is one that needs to be addressed.

Only to concur with your comments.
I didn't do the cals but you're correct, it'll take a hell of a long time to make
up for all the loss wages during the strike.
Six percent over a four year period isn't that great.
Appears management got the best, save most of the loss wages.
Now increase the room rates to cover the 6% , well as long as the workers happy.
IMHO.
PS My guys get minimum 4% annually plus bonus, key guys gets up to
10 to 15 % plus 401 matching

Maybe the only hit is if they increase room rates to cover the lost revenue and increased wages, they'll be a greater demand by visitors to use vacation rentals? So Airbnb is the biggest winner from all this?

Lost revenue may not qualifiers as write off, will affect revenue earnings.
How ever each entity has its own budget, schedule, forecast, and business plan.
Hope that helps some of your concerns.
Each AMP should have a business plan should the providers strikes for medical insurance, 401 k, retirement,
sick leaves, paid vacation, etc. Lmso.
Holy shit that would constitute more tips.
Fuck That.

The hit to room occupancy is temporary, Hawaii is popular enough that people will fill the rooms.

They have no upper level degree, no trained skill set, some don't even have a high school diploma. They were already making $23 an hour plus benefits that include annuity, LIFETIME Medical for worker AND spouse, vacation, medical for WHOLE family, get meals at work, uniforms provided and laundered daily, cheap parking, etc.
They wanted Kyo-ya to help them get and provide them with green cards for workers and families.
They make more than many with degrees. Workers with degrees should apply for work at hotels and displace all the workers there, it would really be funny for them to fight for their benefits and then loose it to higher qualified workers. I would gladly higher someone with a degree, speaks english (good enough to understand 2 sides of a convo well) and has somewhat of better thinking skills over a GED worker who can't see how good 23 an hour was to start off with. The fact that the workers went along with this shows the level of intelligence, mindlessly going along with the union.
One should be enough if you work to put yourself in that position. Don't be a replaceable drone and give yourself some worth.
My uncle told me hotels were still at 97% occupancy through out the whole strike, so maybe Kyo-ya made out even more.
Sorry stepping off the soap box now. And going to put my application in at Kyo-ya. LOL.
I think it shows how uneducated they are when they are crying for more money, but don't realize that the cost of living here is still an issue. Caldwell and Ige stood with them, great. But don't do fuck all about affordable housing, reducing the cost of living, Jones Act, etc. Continuing to work a unskilled job for years without attempting to improve your skill set by going to school and getting an education, why isn't the union asking for more education benefits? Getting workers skilled and equipped for better jobs means that the union heads don't get any money from it.
I'm glad I'm in a field that doesn't have all the union bullshit and probably never will. If you are educated and highly skilled, you get paid well and don't need any collective bargaining.
Nobody wins. In the long run we going be in the same place just t different time. Man, we need to vote all the incumbents out and start fresh with leader and not puppets.
