Current FF host @NoeGK interviews these three wahine involved in labor struggle in Hawai'i, who each share a bit about the long, proud history of unionism in Hawaiʻi. Did you know the 1st strike in Hawai'i was an 1839 grad employee strike?!

First Friday, a show that has aired on public access television for decades, was originated by two radical Hawaiian sovereignty activists, Haunani Kay and Mililani Trask to draw connections between labor movements and struggles for self-determination.
We are proud to help bring the show back to its roots. Listen to these four badass women speak about what the COVID-19 crisis has meant for their members and what they'd like to see for the future of labor in Hawai'i nei. Happy International Workers Day and Happy Lei Day!
@FlyingWithSara @afa_cwa @unitehere Your organizers in Hawaiʻi are doing amazing, inspiring work! We are so proud to be in conversation and solidarity about the future of labor in Hawaiʻi! #MayDay2020
