In this issue of The Public Employee, you’ll find a recap of major victories and initiatives, from the passage of Act 260 to balance power on the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to organizing opposition against exorbitant executive pay raise proposals.
We’ve had a busy year fighting to protect the rights and benefits of our members. Remember that these articles represent only a fraction of HGEA’s ongoing consultations, litigations or political actions. Rest assured, we are always fighting for you, and help is readily available through our Member Service Center.
We’re also proud to spotlight the diverse and critical work of public employees. You’ll read about Tess Herman starting an innovative car recycling program, and members receiving national recognition for their outstanding work such as Milken Educator Awardee Esther Kwon and AFSCME Never Quit Awardee Luke Shepardson.

Effective Jan. 1, 2024, the AFSCME Affiliation fee will increase from $14.90 to $15.55 per month for full-time employees and from $11.10 to $11.60 per month for part-time employees.
This increase in the AFSCME Affiliation fee occurs because of HGEA’s legal affiliation with AFSCME. As our parent union, AFSCME helps protect the interests of 1.4 million members nationwide and is a leading advocate on national issues such as pensions, privatization, worker rights, fair taxes and health care. AFSCME also provides assistance and resources to HGEA for bargaining, organizing, political action and education and training.
