Hawaii Government Employees Association’s Unit 13 members overwhelmingly ratified a four-year contract, covering the period of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017, with 96% voting to accept the agreement.

“After lengthy negotiations, HGEA has secured an equitable contract that is aligned with the goals set by our Unit 13 negotiating team to meet our members’ needs,” said HGEA Executive Director Randy Perreira. “As shown by the overwhelming vote to ratify the contract, our members are satisfied with the terms of the new agreement. We commend our negotiators for committing to fulfilling the goals they set that is fair to our members and recognizes their valuable work as public service employees.”
