Unions move to take legal action to prevent state worker furloughs next month Hawaii Schools File Image (Source: HNN Archive) By Lynn Kawano | December 18, 2020 at 5:37 PM HST - Updated December 18 at 5:39 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Legal action could come as early as Monday as unions for state workers trying to block Governor David Igeâs furlough plan from taking effect next month.
The unions say forced days off are not necessary right now as Congress works to pass a stimulus package that could include billions of dollars for state relief and public schools.
Kehaulani Makaila, an educational assistant at Waimanalo Elementary and Intermediate School, said the nearly 10% cut in her salary would be devastating because she helps care for her elderly parents.

Government workers, educators and Maui college employees are bracing for an expected round of furloughs Jan. 1 that their unions have heavily criticized with the holidays fast approaching.
“How do the businesses stay open if you continue to decrease the generating income of the working class people?” said Jeremy “Jay” Vanzandt, a University of Hawaii-Maui College grounds and maintenance foreman. “How do we support the Maui community? How do we support the state if everybody has a decrease in finances?
“We don’t even know if we’re going to make ends meet, and you know, it’s Christmas, it’s the holidays, and you can’t spend, so how can you expect businesses to do better?”
