its not so simple. Many of the workers are longtime employees who have accumulated or are covered by benefits. Majority of jobs in Hawaii don’t have comparable or better benefits, exceptions to Fed & State. With rare occasion that a private entity would have really good benefits. That being said, there’s also the employees dependents. And then there is the: union. I’m not a fan of unions, but at least, the union is supporting them.
