HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - About 300 people gathered for a rally in Kalihi Saturday to celebrate International Workers Day.

“They’re waiting for six, seven, eight months. That is just unacceptable,” said Rev. Sam Domingo of the Hawaii Workers Center. “And we’re going to hold our leaders and government very much accountable.”
