A tentative agreement may end the four day strike that left businesses and residents of Ewa Beach scrambling to make due without power last Friday after Hawaiian Electric workers walked off the job in the wake of a major windstorm.
State Rep. Kimberly Pine (R, Ewa Beach-Iroquois Point) said IBEW Local 1260 workers should be “ashamed of themselves” for their actions. “I find this completely unacceptable and selfish to walk off during a crisis in my community,” Pine said. “There is a time and a place to negotiate salary, and now is not the time. They have an obligation to help people first.”
