How the hell is it possible for the strikers to get Unemployment? They are the ones that walked off the job. What a waste of tax payers money.
They should not be eligible for unemployment benefits. They voluntarily walked out on their jobs.
Good!!!! Employer.....Fire them All!!! They Get Nothing.....
When they started pulling out the drums, I lost all sympathy and now hate them.
Bruh yall should of saved up your money knowing you are planning a strike.
It’s not that simple, most these guys already working 2-3 jobs, And worked hotel long time, and to be caught off guard by the negotiations, Saving money aint gon help you, when even with 3 jobs, when that hotel could be the one getting you by in Hawai’i, also Tryna find a job replacement while already juggling other jobs is ridiculous,
@@RenzaissanceTV You actually understand whats going on besides all of these other viewers...crazy how they don't really research and understand what the strike is about. The first thing they look at is "they want another higher wage"... Then the next thing they do is blame the workers who think they are just being greedy. Crazy...Most of these viewers commenting against the strikers are most likely middle class/or below as well, some probably rich...or even botted accts to spread hate.
@@showalohano one is gonna respect this strike. You are terrorizing tourists caught in between. You are public enemy #1. The state, tourists, locals, and hotels ALL HATE YOU.
WHERES THE GOVENOR, WHERES THE NURSES...WHERES THE MAHU SENATOR PROTESTING???
Sorry but you worker’s are not skilled workers like engineers or brain surgeons therefore you really are not marketable your job can be done by any high school student ,I am not trying to be mean but it is what it is yes you workers deserve some sort of a raise but don’t expect the world besides a lot of your workers come from a different country and send most of your wages back home but that is your choice and not the employers fault,if you really want good paying jobs you need to be skilled and educated I know you will say that how can I do that well you have 24 hours in a day and maybe you can work during the day and attend college at night or vice versa I did that many years ago and have a decent paying job ,no I am not wealthy but I live comfortably, you should know by now only you can make those sacrifices and change ,I would never let the government control my destiny,Good luck to all of you
Sadly, none of us knows what raise or wage these striking workers are asking for. How do we know whether we should support these workers? We don’t even know if they’re being reasonable about what they’re asking for. To complain that Hilton is just making more money isn’t a valid argument. Hotels are in it to make tremendous amounts of money, that’s not a secret. And we do know that these workers are unskilled laborers and are hired for their expediency not their professional contribution to the hotel.
That's called the old Ala Wai Two Step.
Old timers know about this.
Hawai'i is a democratic state. Which means the lawmakers are remedial
They want more $ but they have really no demanding skill. These people are easily replaceable. I'm saying honestly they should be thankful they have a job because from the looks of it, it doesn't look like they are missing meals.
The hotel guests who are complaining seem to think their skills are needed.
I hope they all get replaced. Staying here and it is atrocious what they are doing and harassing ppl staying at the hotel. Nurses, teachers, etc all strike in a dignified manner and don’t destroy the peace of people in the area or harass people who can’t change their reservation or get a refund. Shame on Hilton as well for not notifying customers or allowing them to get a refund or change dates.
It's very important that labor unions end their reign. Unions aren't good for their members.
They should go back to work, I remember not two long ago they were striking and saying 1 job should be enough and then they got their raise and now they are striking again and want more money. If they get too greedy they will be replaced with workers that are satisfied with the pay and those on strike will be the losers.
They should be thankful to have 1 job. PERIOD. Even a part time job with minimum wage is better than no job.
@@libramoon9968 Yes, thank the Lord. ☝🏽
You don’t get unemployment for walking out on your job🤪
Same as quitting guys. The law is very clear. I’m not sorry your wife cannot shop Target or your kids can’t get a happy meal from McDonald’s. Look both ways before you cross the street😂
They should just quit bury the hatchet and find a new job
This is more than just quitting lmfao, With the union they are able to fight for better staffing, and ways to improve the quality of work, A strike is not the same as quitting, When are people gonna learn that, the strike helps the company more then it hurts it lol, All that money Hilton has, and yet they wanna short the workers, Seems like you are local, you should know how hard it is to survive here, And not seeing that the strike is only to improve the work flow and that Hilton is just being greedy, and please don’t come up with the “Get another job” as to say these guys ain’t already working 2-3 jobs while working at the Hilton
No. Absolutely not.
Hilton makes a lot of money off the Hawaiian islands. Hawaiian politicians need to protect Hawaiians not businesses residing in Hawaii. Other hotel chains will be more than happy to do business there. Period.
Racist.
Racist you are :)
Go back to work and be happy you got job.
They need to get thier ass back to work and stop.being greedy.
Who’s greedy? Hilton really sacrificing quality work, Hilton the ones why Rooms are hard to get into, why there are long waits at the front desk, why housekeeping is late, They cutting the workers, giving them more rooms to release when they could assign more workers per room, Idk why people think they fighting for nothing, when you really look at what they fighting for is only going to help business 😂😂
@RenzaissanceTV oh shut up crybaby and get another job. Changing bedding and cleaning toilets anyone can do. Explain what fkn skill is there for a raise of 35 an hour???????
@@RenzaissanceTV raises referring to maids and staff that clean rooms. How much do they make anyway? I have no idea really. I’m sure what they do takes perhaps a strong body and a high school education, if that. Are they skilled professional workers? Again, how much are they paid?
The law makes perfect sense.
You cause financial damage to your employer, you pay.
How is this hard to understand?
Don’t like the pay you receive? Think you’re worth more? Find another job and find out
Thats stupid, you’re saying the things they are fighting for isn’t reasonable? Like better staffing, that helps the company more than it hurts them, this is more than a raise lol, Idk what business runs great, shorting there workers lol, Yeah forget that Hawai’i runs on tourism, let the workers walk, good luck lmfao, You really think the replacements can run all those hotels?? LMFAO
@@RenzaissanceTVstop being butt hurt. Go back to work.
Ok.
Hahah wow hawaii
Confusing, because they make there laws as time goes on by. Ha ha ha😢
