Almost exactly two years ago, the bill to gradually raise Hawai'i's minimum wage to $18/hour was signed into law. It was a huge win for working families. It shows what we can achieve when we put people before profit and prioritize the public interest, rather than political gain.

#ServiceWorkers aren't to blame for tipping culture! #OneFairWage
"However, out-of-hand tipping culture is a reflection of employers and government policies that don’t pay a living wage and, instead, have their employees rely on tips."

Did you know that back in 2022, the Hawaiʻi Workers
Center led a campaign to raise the minimum wage? As of 1/1/24 the minimum wage in Hawaiʻi is now
$14.00 per hour!
It's far from a living wage; but it is an immense step in making Hawaiʻi more livable for its people.
Hawaiʻi Workers Center retweeted
ICYMI: A single parent with 1 keiki needs to make $41/hour to survive here. Most Hawaiʻi jobs don't come close, forcing families to leave or live in poverty. We all pay the societal costs for this economic stagnation—but future generations pay the most.
