The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 142 and Starwood Hotels & Resorts have reached an agreement on contract renegotiations for employees at Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, the hotel said today.

The five-year contract affects approximately 150 union employees. The contract covers food and beverage, engineering, housekeeping, bell staff, and culinary departments.
“We are delighted to have successfully reached an agreement that rewards our employees for their hard work yet remains cognizant of the difficult economic situation our industry is faced with,” Sheraton Keauhou Bay general manager Tetsuji Yamazaki said in a statement.
Starwood has managed the 521-room resort, formally the Kona Surf, since it reopened in late 2004 following renovation.
