If indeed tourism is down, and thus business income - striking against the hotels seems like a good way to permanently loose jobs.

They (the strikers) don't have the economic long run intelligence to see that point.

Easy fodder for the educated union leaders to herd them up like the lemmings they have become since the end of WW2.

The "we will take care of your every aspect of life, womb to tomb" is foremost, regardless if it will eventually kill the very jobs they fantasize about.

The unions promised the sugar cane industry workers the same thing, and not a one has the jobs the unions promised to keep for them.

Where is all that cash the unions got from the sugar workers? You will never see any of it on the outer islands, for it is in the back pockets of the unions on Oahu.

This is the very damn same thing the Clintons, the Daschles and Gepharts and so on are continuing to promise the blacks, the "minorities" and illiterates of the country.

If the Republicans had half a brain and maybe by an act of God grew some BALLS AT LEAST THE SIZE OF A MARBLE, then they would go to Hawaii, do the homework, put the numbers together, and show the rest of the mainland just how bad it gets when the unions run everything.

Showing the general public of the mainland how the communistic/socialistic groups actually operate may open more than just a few voters' eyes...
