Unionized employees at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa ratified a four-year contract agreement last night.
The contract covers about 500 of the Hyatt's workers and is similar to those approved last month by employees at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa and the four Sheraton hotels in Waikiki. The union, UNITE HERE Local 5, still has to negotiate contracts for employees at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, The Kahala Hotel & Resort, the Ala Moana Hotel and the Ilikai.
