200 Strong Represent Local 675 at the Great Aloha Run

The 36th Annual GAR kick-started at Aloha Tower for an 8.15-mile fun run ending at Aloha Stadium. The first runner to cross the doorway of our Aloha Stadium Hospitality Room for Local 675 was Kainalu Pagente, the 17-year old son of Shane and Carmel Pagente. He has been doing the run for the last 5 years with his whole family.

 

Business Manager's Message

As you may know the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is now a global pandemic. The United Association sent a letter addressing the outbreak to all of our Brothers and Sisters. We hope that everyone is currently practicing preventive actions and are keeping informed. Local 675 will be cancelling the General Membership meeting and Big Island rap sessions for the month of April.

 

Important Message from The United Association Regarding COVID-19

As you are very aware, the U.S. and global communities are experiencing an outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID‐19), originating in the Wuhan province of China. While the situation continues to evolve with a vast amount of information being reported, I want to let everyone know that the UA is continuously and closely monitoring multiple information channels via labor and government sources as well as local and national news reports.
